Learning Goals: 1. Describe basic Biopsychological processes 2. Navigate Behavioural Neuroscience literature 3. Relate the current literature and understanding of the brain and behaviour to your daily life 4. Engage in discussions regarding current and contemporary topics in behavioural neuroscience 5. Describe classical and state of the art techniques for studying neurons and brain function 6. Have a contemporary view of the theories and research that has shaped our understanding of how the brain integrates information from our senses to create representations that can be store as memories
