認知神經科學

The emergence of cognitive neuroscience highlights an interdisciplinary synthesis of approaches to understanding human cognition and behavior. This course will introduce such synthesis, how it happened, how it develops, and where it will go. Its building blocks consist of different cognitive functions, from perception, attention, learning and memory, language, motor control, to social cognition and decision making. A central focus is to introduce how these cognitive functions are studied at the behavioral level, how they are represented by neural activity, and how insights about cognition and behavior can be obtained through neuroscience research. The course is taught by faculty members from 4 different universities: National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Taiwan University, National Central University, and National Cheng Kung University.
