Formål

In the evaluation of the student's performance, special emphasis is placed on the extent to which the student:

• is able to apply cognitive semiotic concepts and methodologies to a chosen topic;
• demonstrates a strict methodological approach to this application;
• combines knowledge from different subject areas;

• is able to structure own material logically and express himself/herself clearly.

Indhold

This course serves as an introduction to the methods used when studying cognition empirically with an emphasis on studies of language processing. What are the requirements for a good behavioral study and to what extend can these requirements be said to apply to neuroimaging studies? The course also covers an ultra-brief introduction to the statistics used for hypothesis-testing. It is open to everyone but targeted mainly at master students who are already acquainted with some of the findings in experimental studies of cognition and neuroscience.
