Prerequisite: At least one course in Biology, Psychology or Neuroscience
Neuroscience is a very broad field and nobody is expert at all of its interesting aspects. The course is led by Dr.'s Michele Miozzo and Rae Silver who differ significantly in their areas of expertise.
In one session, students will listen to formal scientific presentations, read a paper, and try to understand the material. In alternate weeks, students will discuss as a group what they heard, figure out the main findings, discuss why this work is important, and guess where it might lead next. As possible, participants will also have a specialist in the field join the discussion, as they will have understood the work much more deeply. This is planned to be fun, interesting and informative and quite different from the usual lecture or seminar.
