Experimental Design and Statistical Methodology

2 credits · Graduate School

The course provides an understanding of statistical methodology relevant to contemporary neuroscience research and uses computer software packages. Experimental design, constructing and deconstructing hypotheses are built into the course work. Statistical topics include descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, regression, correlation, contingency analysis, and the testing of methods for sampling natural populations. The course supports the goal of the Vanderbilt Neuroscience Program to produce a cohort of quantitatively savvy neuroscientists prepared to become future leaders in their area of research interest.
