The course consists of a theoretical introduction to the abovementioned topics and hands-on workshops. During the course, students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that allow them to understand the advantages and limitations of psychophysiological methods. During the workshops, students will perform data collection and analysis of psychophysiological signals. Participants will also deliver group presentations of the results. During the course, a wide variety of teaching methods will be employed, including powerpoint presentations, movies, case studies, and group projects.

For each part of the course students will be asked to:

- collect and preprocess raw data from a single subject

- perform group-level analysis

- present the results of the experiment during a group presentation (3-4 students per group)

- Prepare a written report describing the results of the experiment

Presence during each of two parts of the course is required. Two unexcused absences are allowed. In case of excessive absences, students will be asked to complete additional work.

Students must respect the principles of academic integrity. Cheating and plagiarism (including copying work from other students, internet or other

sources) are serious violations that are punishable and instructors are required to report all cases to the administration.
