Course Number:

Course Description:
This course has two parts, with half of the lectures dedicated to central nervous system (CNS – dr. JJ Fahrenfort) and half to autonomic nervous system (ANS – dr. MJ Gevonden) activity and measurement. In plenary lectures we will outline how affective and cognitive processing is reflected in observable behavioral and physiological signals. The lectures are interspersed with a series of practicals, where the students learn how to record the Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Blood Pressure (BP), the Impedance Cardiogram (ICG), the Electroencephalogram (EEG), the Electrooculogram (EOG), in experimental designs aimed at isolating specific affective and cognitive processes. This will be done in a standardized laboratory setting, and application in ambulatory settings will be discussed. The main principles, strategies and limitations for data analysis will be covered in the lectures and then applied in the practicals to the self-recorded data-sets.
