Neurobiology II. Sensory and motor processing. - BMETE47MN27

The aim of the course is to deepen the theoretical knowledge acquired in the first semester, as well as to expand their cognitive neuroscience knowledge with additional knowledge. In the first half of the semester, we complete the perceptual modalities and discuss multimodal interactions separately, then take over the non-discussed and / or psychological aspects of the two most studied modalities, and finally address the motor processes of sen-sorimotor integration. The structure of the course allows students to master the functions of the nervous system with a global approach, with each perception modality as a specialty. The basic aim of the course is for students to view neural functions as reactions to an active system. As a result, students develop a holistic perspective rather than many topic-specific sets of knowledge.

1. The student knows the conceptual system describing the basic neural functions, the most important con-nections and theories. He knows the specialties of the individual detection modalities, as well as the basic operating principles of the motor system, the components of the system, and the deficits resulting from their damage.

1. The student is able to understand the typical literature on topics related to cognitive neuroscience and is able to independently search for literature sources.
2. Ability to communicate in a professionally adequate manner, orally and in writing on various topics in cognitive neuroscience.

1. Open to expanding knowledge related to your field.
2. Open and motivated to apply the acquired knowledge.
3. Collaborates with the instructor and fellow students to expand knowledge.

The learning outcomes set out in point 2.2 are assessed in two separate exams, written in the diligent and / or examination period.

Detailed description of performance evaluations performed during the diligence and / or examination period: Written exam: The acquisition of the theoretical knowledge of the students is ensured by two written exams written at separate times during the semester. The exam consists of test questions, drawing tasks, essay questions (approximately half - 1 page explanation), as well as smaller questions covering the entire topic (8-10 questions, questions that can be answered in 1-2 sentences, lists). The questions cover the lesson material as well as the required literature.

• Written exams (2 pcs): 50%-50%
• total: 100%

The written exam can be improved during the examination period. In case of correction, the more favorable of the previous and the new result for the student is taken into account.

To achieve the learning outcomes set out in section 2.2, the course consists of the following thematic blocks. In the bridge buses of the courses announced in each semester, these topics are scheduled according to the calendar and other features.

The subject data sheet I. and II. beyond Part III. shall be approved by the head of the Department of Cognitive Science indicated in point 1.8 in consultation with the specialist (s) of the relevant field (s).
