PSYCH 195: Special Laboratory Projects

Independent study. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: 1, 10, and consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-6 | Repeatable for credit

PSYCH 196A: Neuroscience research

This course is for undergraduate students who are part of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute's Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Opportunity (NeURO) fellowship program.
Terms: Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 3 units total)

PSYCH 198: Senior Honors Research

The Honors Program in Psychology is designed for Psychology majors who wish to pursue a full year of intensive supervised independent research during their senior year. Students in the program will acquire a broad background in psychology as well as a deep background in their chosen area. In the fall quarter, we will focus on career development, acquiring valuable research skills, and on discussing our research projects. In the winter quarter, we will focus on reading and discussing research papers that are relevant for our projects. In the spring quarter, we will focus on how to present our research in writing, as well as in poster and oral presentations.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1-4 | Repeatable for credit

PSYCH 199: Individually Supervised Practicum

Satisfies INS requirements for curricular practical training (CPT). May be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: consent of adviser.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-5 | Repeatable for credit (up to 99 units total)

PSYCH 202: Cognitive Neuroscience

Graduate core course. The anatomy and physiology of the brain. Methods: electrical stimulation of the brain, neuroimaging, neuropsychology, psychophysics, single-cell neurophysiology, theory and computation. Neuronal pathways and mechanisms of attention, consciousness, emotion, language, memory, motor control, and vision. Prerequisite: For psychology graduate students, or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

PSYCH 204B: Computational Neuroimaging: Data Analyses and Experimental Designs

This course provides an in-depth survey and understanding of modern computational approaches to design and analyses of neuroimaging data. The course is a mixture of lectures and projects geared to give the student an understanding of the possibilities as well as limitations of different computational approaches. Topics include: signal and noise in MRI; general linear modeling; fMRI-adaptation; multivoxel pattern analyses; decoding and encoding algorithms; modeling population receptive fields. Required: Psych 204A; Recommended: Cognitive Neuroscience, Stats
Terms: Spr | Units: 1-3

PSYCH 205: Foundations of Cognition

Topics: attention, memory, language, similarity and analogy, categories and concepts, learning, reasoning, and decision making. Emphasis is on processes that underlie the capacity to think and how these are implemented in the brain and modeled computationally. The nature of mental representations, language and thought, modular versus general purpose design, learning versus nativism. Prerequisite: 207 or consent of instructor. Open to Psychology PhD students only.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

PSYCH 232: Brain and Decision Making (PSYCH 134)

This seminar explores how emerging findings at the interface of neuroscience, psychology, and economics combine to inform our understanding of how the brain makes decisions. Topics include neural processes related to reward, punishment, probability, risk, time, reflection, and social interaction, as well as theoretical implications and practical applications. We will briefly touch on the possibility of extending individual brain and behavioral data down to physiological and up to aggregate levels of analysis.Because the course involves interdisciplinary material, it takes the format of a research seminar with background discussions, and is targeted at graduate students and advanced undergraduates who aim to conduct related research. Goals include: (1) building familiarity with relevant neuroscience, psychology, and economics concepts; (2) increasing awareness of key relevant literature; and (3) preparation to conduct and advance innovative interdisciplinary research.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Knutson, B. (PI)

PSYCH 240: Big Questions About Small Brains

Is face processing innate? Are infants passive spectators of their world or active agents pursuing goals? Why don't we remember anything from our infancy? This seminar-based course will use a Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience lens - using methods like fMRI, EEG, and animal models - to consider these big questions in early Cognitive Development. Prerequisite: 207 or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Ellis, C. (PI)

PSYCH 240A: Curiosity in Artificial Intelligence (EDUC 234)

How do we design artificial systems that learn as we do early in life -- as "scientists in the crib" who explore and experiment with our surroundings? How do we make AI "curious" so that it explores without explicit external feedback? Topics draw from cognitive science (intuitive physics and psychology, developmental differences), computational theory (active learning, optimal experiment design), and AI practice (self-supervised learning, deep reinforcement learning). Students present readings and complete both an introductory computational project (e.g. train a neural network on a self-supervised task) and a deeper-dive project in either cognitive science (e.g. design a novel human subject experiment) or AI (e.g. implement and test a curiosity variant in an RL environment). Prerequisites: python familiarity and practical data science (e.g. sklearn or R).
