Course description
The course will focus on the brain mechanisms underlying human learning and memory, spanning multiple domains (perceptual, skill, declarative). We will discuss up to date literature in the field, and the students will be exposed to state of the art experimental setups, involving psychophysics, fMRI, EEG, pharmacology, and non-invasive brain stimulation.
Requirements: reading and discussing the current literature (represented below), presentations in class.
