Advanced Research in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience
PSYC 398
Fall 2014
| Section:
01
|
| Crosslisting:
NS&B 398 |
This course provides in-depth training on the methods of auditory cognitive neuroscience. We will review contemporary studies in auditory cognitive neuroscience, specifically in speech, language, and music. Students will design and implement a group project, learn to analyze the data, and write up the results in an end-of-term paper. |
