The mental processes and behaviors we will link to the human brain include perception, imagery, attention, learning, prominent computational models of brain/mind, issues in brain development and plasticity, brain adaptation in evolution, and brain-machine interfaces for neural enhancement.

Prerequisite(s): Either PSYC 122  or equivalent OR PSYC 131  or equivalent; AND PSYC 103  or equivalent. Prerequisites may be waived with instructor’s permission.
