4pts. J. Curley
Description: This seminar will provide students with R programming skills to be able to organize, analyze and visualize data. The key goal to be achieved will be to train students to think how to make their research collaborative and transparent with code such that all data analysis that they undertake will be fully reproducible. Using R and RStudio, students will learn the full process of designing and undertaking reproducible behavioral data analysis.
Graduate Research Seminars and Colloquim
3 pts. S. Woolley.
Prerequisite: Instructor's permission
Description: Auditory neuroscience is the study of the neural basis of hearing. Auditory processing and perception are studied from the physiological, anatomical and behavioral standpoints. The focus of this course is on the structure and function of the vertebrate auditory system, and how auditory processing relates perception and vocal communication. The course consists of a weekly seminar during which recently published papers and current data sets on auditory neuroscience and perception are presented and discussed.
3pts. R. Silver; D. Hood; P. Balsam; F. Champagne.
Prerequisite: At least one undergraduate neuroscience course and instructor's permission. This course is open only to graduate students.
Description: Advanced seminar on the fundamentals of brain organization, development and function in the generation and control of behavior. Using lecture, text and original literature, a basic graduate education on neurons, circuits, systems and behavior taught by faculty experts.
3 pts. S. Woolley and D. Kelley.
Prerequisite: Instructor's permission.
Description: Neuroethology is the study of the neural bases for natural animal behaviors. Behavior and brain are studied using an evolutionary approach. The focus of this course is on the neurobiology and behavior of animal communication and other natural behaviors, and the relation between sensory processing and motor output. The course consists of a weekly student-led seminar during which classic and current data papers are presented and discussed.
3 pts. J. Metcalfe and C. Peacocke.
