OutlineBasic knowledge on physiology and anatomy of the brain, computer science and image
processing can be learned through 10 lectures.

Learning objectives

・After completing this course, students can discuss with others on basic
neuroscience.
・After completing this course, students can write a summary of a research paper.
・After completing this course, students can acquire basic knowledge on computerscience and imaging processing which is necessary for performing research on
physiology.

Grading policy

・Students must attend at least the half of the lectures to get credit.
・Write a summary report on the one of lectures. The report will be graded by thelecturer on the basis of a level of understandings on the lecture. (50% for each)
