This course takes an in-depth look at the theory and practice of using recordings of electrical activity of the brain to study human cognition. Major emphasis will be placed on auditory and visual event-related potentials, but other electrophysiological techniques will be discussed. Considerable hands-on-experience with state-of- the-art recording and analysis techniques will be provided.
