Seminar Functional Neuroanatomy

In the seminar “functional neuroanatomy”, the organization and function of the human nervous system will be in focus. Basic functional principles and the relationship between cellular processes, functional organization and perception will be discussed based on selected structures and functions. Moreover, research methods in biological psychology will be presented. The seminar may be held in English. To enroll, it is mandatory to have successfully attended Psy_B4.

Advanced Research: Neuronal Oscillations

In this seminar, we will examine the phenomenon of neural oscillations. In doing so, we will cover neuroscientific methods, physiologiocal mechanisms and the role of neural oscillations for perception, action and cognition. Using the book "Rhythms of the Brain" as well as current research, we will cover the role of rhythmic processes.
