DESCRIPTION
The course aims to provide you with theoretical knowledge of how the human brain and cognition can be studied with current techniques. In addition, an important component of the course is to teach you how to perform recordings on normal human subjects using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) and relate the electrical signal of the brain to cognition. The emphasis is on non-sensory cognitive experiences such as "daydreaming". You will record, analyze and present both data on EEG and cognition at the end of the course. The importance of non-stimulus driven brain activity and cognition for brain-related disorders such as depression, dementia, insomnia, autism, and attention deficit and hyperarousal disorder (ADHD) is discussed.
