The course examines organizational, cellular and molecular neuroscience of perception, cognition, sleep, memory, movement, and processing of information gathered by the sensory organs. It explores how consciousness and reality are constructed and builds an understanding of the physical, chemical and molecular basis of consciousness. It examines why consciousness is both a hard and a soft scientific problem. The course looks at how contextualizing and building a reference library from memory are both critical for and a hindrance to creativity and how knowledge workers – which is all of us – can ensure optimum functioning of the brain.
This multidisciplinary course will also equip students to find scientific questions from their own fascination with the world and how to convert that experience into working hypotheses which can be explored further with scientific methods of experimentation. The course teaches how to work in teams and how to build intra and cross-disciplinary collaborations, which are essential to a career in science.
Paradigms of brain function at a high level and understand functional organisation of the brain so as to trigger novel fundamental research in neurosciences.
This collection of resources offers a comprehensive exploration of neuronal functions and their role within the nervous system. The introduction video provides an overview, highlighting the central importance of neurons. The accompanying slides delve into fundamental neuron concepts, including structure and types. Basic neurophysiology is covered through both video and slide resources, explaining communication mechanisms and signal transmission
Logic and emotions are two fundamental aspects of human cognition that often intersect and influence our thoughts, behaviours, and decisions. Logic provides a structured framework for rational thinking, enabling us to analyse situations, solve problems, and make informed choices based on facts and evidence.
Sensation and perception are discussed in one video, while another video specifically addresses the intricacies of neurons. The concept of sensory input integration is presented through a dedicated video, and motor function, including control and coordination, is also covered. Together, these resources provide a well-rounded understanding of neurons, their connectivity, and their contributions to physiological processes.
This intriguing compilation explores the multifaceted dimensions of human cognition and awareness. Embark on a journey through the corridors of creativity, where innovation and imagination intertwine to shape the world around us. Delve into the intricate mechanisms underlying brain health, unravelling the intricate web of factors that contribute to cognitive vitality.
