PSY 755 Affective & Cognitive Neuroscience
This seminar will examine the neural systems mediating emotional and cognitive processes, and how these processes interact with and affect each other. Students will consider how emotion influences perception, memory, attention, and judgment, and how cognitive processes can have emotional consequences. The course will consist of reading primary articles that employ neuroscience techniques such as lesion and neuroimaging studies. The relationship between emotion and cognition will also be discussed in the context of psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.
