BIO 39L: Analyses of Human Motor Skills

Neurobiology of motor skills, expertise, and performance. Noninvasive methods of motion analysis (observation, motion capture, EEG/EMG, multimodal imaging). Teaching interventions. Laboratory examines development of basic sporting skills in children, athletes, and those with disabilities.

 

BIO 95jt: Foundations of Neuroscience

An introduction to the nervous system and behavior that explores the philosophical and historical development of the most fundamental issues in neuroscience.  Emphasis will be placed on the experiments and methodology that most influenced our understanding of the nervous system, and the close relationship between technological advances  and the development of neuroscience.  Topics include study of the mind/body problem, localization of brain function, neural representation of knowledge, and consciousness.  Laboratory study of the chemical, electrical, and cognitive functions of the nervous system will be included.  Team-taught by The Claremont Colleges Neuroscience faculty.
