Course is designed to introduce students to modern methods and problems in cognitive neuroscience with emphasis on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Lectures will take place on Mondays at 1.45 pm at Miedzychodzka 5 room 110 starting February 23, 2015. Course will be based on
Jamie Ward "Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience" and Eric Kandel "Principles of Neural Science"
