The goal of this course was to introduce students to basic concepts in neuroscience, learn about research methodologies, and gain proficiency in reading scientific papers. Students conducted in-class experiments on motor reflexes, sensory discrimination, and sensorimotor adaptation, participated in guided case studies, evaluated the scientific claims in popular media, and created scientific posters on a topic of their choice.
