Study Abroad Research Lab

(1-5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

When offered in London: Research work under the supervision of a member of faculty on main campus, taken in addition to regular London courses. When offered in Copenhagen: A required course for students enrolled in The Cognitive Neuroscience of Consciousness (Core Course). During the course, students will work in groups of 4 to design, develop and carry on an experimental study within the field of cognitive neuroscience with specific focus on conscious and unconscious perceptual mechanisms. All studies will be computer-based and aim at collecting quantitative, behavioral data: this will allow students to get well acquainted with experimental paradigms such as E-Prime and PsyScopy. Class work will consist of supervision regarding research activities and selected topics relative to research, e.g. data analysis, methods and methodologies, and ethical aspects of research. Throughout the semester students will present the various stages of their work to the other groups in order to collect feedback and to jointly evaluate the strengths and weakness of their respective projects. All studies will be presented at the scientific symposium that will take place at the end of the semester.
