PSYCH 263: Computational Tools for Brain and Behavior Research
Rapid developments in experimental techniques from behavioral measurements, calcium imaging, multielectrode recordings, ECoG, EEG and fMRI have led to an explosion of data for understanding the brain and behavior. This course explores computational tools that can make sense of these data from dimensionality reduction, classification analyses to model fitting, as well as techniques for validating results such as permutation analyses, cross-validation, model selection and bootstrapping. The emphasis will be on developing a practical understanding of computational methods as well as intuition about what these methods can tell us about brain and behavior. The course is a mixture of lectures, reading and discussion of examples of uses of computational tools from recent primary behavioral and neuroscience literature as well as hands-on computer tutorials.

PSYCH 264: Moral Minds: What Can Moral Psychology Tell Us About Ethics (ETHICSOC 304)
SAME AS
LAW744. Recent psychological advances in our understanding of the cognitive and social origins of morality cast a new light on age-old questions about ethics, such as: How did our moral sense evolve in our species? How does it develop over our lifetime? How much does our culture, religion, or politics determine our moral values? What is the role of intuition and emotion in moral judgment? How "logical" is moral judgment? How do other people's moral choices affect us? Does character matter or is behavior entirely dictated by the situations we find ourselves in? If it is purely situational, are we morally responsible for anything? How far will we go to convince ourselves that we are good and moral? Barbara Fried and Benoit Monin will review empirical answers to these questions suggested by behavioral research, and lead discussions on their implications for ethics. Students enrolled in the course will be selected through an application process. The application can be found at
http://web.stanford.edu/~arnewman/MoralMinds.fb, and is due at 11:59 p.m. on November 14, 2014.
