Learning Objectives
I and II module. To deepen the understanding of electrophysiological, neuroimaging and non invasive stimulation techniques. To know the specific application of neurophysiological approaches to face problems in cognition and its development. To deepen knowledge and critical abilities in neurophysiology. To be able to critically analyze the literature in the field. To be able to design an experimental project with neurophysiological techniques.
III and IV module. To deepen the understanding of the biological events underlying the development of behaviour and of the methodologies used. To understand the interactions between genetic specification and environment in the development of behaviour and in developmental disorders. To be able to critically analyze the literature in the field.
