課程概述

This course provides students advance knowledge about important issues and contemporary techniques in Sensory Neuroscience. The course will use a combined lecture and seminar format. Readings will be a mixture of primary source papers and review articles. Students will be expected to read assigned papers, make oral presentations, participate classroom discussion, and prepare a research proposal. This course will be taught by Professor Yu-Cheng Pei from the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and Professors Wen-Sung Lai and Chun-I Yeh from the Department of Psychology, National Taiwan University.

本課程希望讓學生對當代重要的感覺神經科學(包括皮膚感覺、視覺及聽覺)的問題及研究方法有一個進階的認識。本課程將以期刊論文作為上課的主要內容 (著重在近期發表的靈長類動物及人類視覺知覺的研究),希望透過演講、學生口頭報告、上課討論、及撰寫研究計畫等方式,培養學生未來從事感覺神經科學研究的能力。本課程將由裴育晟老師(長庚醫院復健科),賴文崧老師及葉俊毅老師(台大心理系)合開。
 

課程目標
1. Students will be familiar with contemporary and important research topics in Sensory Neuroscience (including Somatosensory, Visual and Auditory systems). Journal articles published in the last few years will be assigned.
2. Student will receive training in presenting and criticizing research articles, and in writing a feasible research proposal in English.

1. 透過研讀近幾年所發表的期刊論文,熟悉當代感覺神經科學(包括: 皮膚感覺、視覺及聽覺)的幾個重要的研究主題。
2. 培養英文的口頭報告及批判論文的能力,並學習撰寫未來可執行的研究計畫。
 
課程要求
The course will be taught in English. Students need to read assigned papers (2 papers per week), make oral presentations (2 papers per person) and write a research proposal / term paper.
本課程將以英文授課,學生必須閱讀指定論文(每周至少兩篇),用英文做口頭報告(至少兩次),及撰寫一篇研究計畫/專題回顧。
