COURSE DESCRIPTION

     The term cognitive neuroscience was first coined in the late 1970s by renowned American psychologists Michaels. Gazzaniga and Georgea. Miller. It is a new subject developed on the basis of cognitive science and neuroscience.  

    The study of cognitive neuroscience aims to clarify the brain mechanisms of cognitive activity (Gazzaniga, 2000).

     The human brain is a vast, complex system of hundreds of billions of neurons. It provides humans with the most important higher brain functions and cognitive behaviors, such as perception, movement, attention, learning, memory, thinking, language, emotion and consciousness. The relationship between brain - cognition - behavior is the core problem that human beings must solve in the process of knowing themselves. It will make an important contribution to people's understanding of nature and themselves, improving brain and physical and mental health, developing a new brain intelligent information system and improving the nation's knowledge innovation ability.

     Since its birth nearly 20 years ago, cognitive neuroscience began to enter people's field of vision in the 1980s and became an emerging discipline recognized by the international academic circle in the 1990s. It is considered to be the most promising frontier research field of natural science in the 21st century.

   You will first learn basics about brain anatomy and function, and about the methods used to study how the brain supports cognition and behavior. Then, we will explore the various functions of the brain by taking a journey from lower- to higher-level cognitive processes: we will study how we can sense and perceive the world, act in it, learn and think about it, and remember it.

Students should be able to:

  • Describe methods used in neuroscience research;
  • Predict how damage to the central nervous system affects function and behavior;
  • Compare and contrast neurotransmitter systems in terms of organization and function;
  • Predict what happens to function and behavior when neurotransmitter systems are blocked or activated;
  • Compare and contrast the organization and function of multiple sensory systems;
  • Explain the importance and usefulness of animal models in neuroscience;
  • Describe the neurobiological basis of learning, memory and memory disorders.

I. Teaching objectives and requirements

This course provides an in-depth survey of the extant data and models of a wide variety of human cognitive functions. Drawing on behavioral, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging research, the course will explore the neural mechanisms underlying complex cognitive processes, such as perception, memory, and decision-making. Importantly, the course will examine the logic and assumptions permitting the interpretation of brain activity in psychological terms.

III. Teaching methods

1. In class teaching, heuristic and discussion teaching methods should be used to mobilize students' enthusiasm and promote teaching and learning.

2. Strengthen after-class tutoring and q&a, and adopt the auxiliary teaching methods such as academic communication, investigation and writing academic papers to train students, constantly cultivate and improve students' comprehensive quality, and strive to obtain students' feedback information of this course.

3. Make efforts to use multimedia and other modern teaching means, use divided class, and combine the use of divided easy platform to build mixed divided teaching mode, mobilize the enthusiasm of learning and participating in classroom teaching, increase the vitality of teaching, and improve the teaching effect and quality continuously.

IV. Assessment methods

Assessment form: examination

Physical: total score = usual score (essay score + class performance + attendance) + test score;

The usual grades account for 30% (grade of small paper + class performance + attendance, each accounting for 20%, 5%, 5%);

Exam scores account for 70%.
