Neuroscience is a very broad and exciting field that is studied at many different levels. This programme explores neuroscience by focuses on the human brain and nervous system. You will learn how our brains enable us to perceive the world, move, influence our mental health, and how we communicate and interact with each other. The Human Neuroscience BSc is a three-year programme that has been designed to enable students to learn about the human brain and nervous system through the prism of health and disease.You will learn how our brains enable us to perceive the world, move, influence our mental health, and how we communicate and interact with each other.
Students will be introduced to principles of research design and quantitative data analysis. The course will start with data wrangling skills; data visualisation and descriptive statistics and then introduce hypothesis tests. Basic inferential statistical techniques will be covered including t-test, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests and one way ANOVAs. Students will learn to organise, visualise and summarise data and conduct inferential tests in R and produce reproducible reports using Rmarkdown.
Students will build on their knowledge of research design and statistical analysis that they developed during their first year Introduction to Research Methods module. More advanced statistical methods such as logistic regression, multiple regression, ANOVAs, mixed effects models, factor analysis, and power analysis will be introduced. Students will learn to conduct these analyses in R and produce reproducible reports of the results using Rmarkdown.
The course will be guided by a focus on how to eliminate bias. Students must use the information of provided in the lectures to devise a bias intervention for a real world case of institutional or structural bias. This intervention will be informed by the scientific information, which must be communicated to the public via a podcast. The intervention and must be conveyed to policy-makers or institution leaders with the power to make change in the form of a policy paper.
