Description

This course explores the physiological bases of behavior. One major emphasis is on nervous system mechanisms in sensory and motor function. Coverage includes the anatomy and physiology of major divisions of the nervous system, including the autonomic. Electrophysiological measuring techniques (EEG events-related brain potentials, cardiovascular activity, muscle tension, electrodermal response) and their use in studying behavior serve as another major emphasis. Applications of these techniques to practical problems are also discussed. Laboratory sessions are devoted to demonstrations of brain anatomy, EEG (brain waves), evoked brain potentials, cardiovascular and muscle activity, and biofeedback (physiological self-regulation).
