NSL 511 - Principles of Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuropsychology & Neuroeducation

This seminar-like course will focus on the integration of two major fields of neurosciences, human neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience, with the recently emerging field of neuroeducation. The component of human neuropsychology focuses on the understanding of mental processes in human beings, with an emphasis on the examination of brain trauma results. On the other hand, the cognitive neuroscience component will provide a general overview of how mental functions are linked to neural processes. The area of neuroeducation brings to this course the integrative junction of knowledge coming from cognitive neuropsychology and cognitive neurosciences as they impact the field of education. Through discussions of up-to-date research papers and selecting readings this class will integrate knowledge of three constantly evolving fields.
