About Course

This free online course explores the human brain and its role in allowing you to think, feel, see, hear and speak as it controls motor function and shapes behaviour.

Neurophysiology is the study of the central nervous system and its function. Neuro-instrumentation is the process of scanning, recording and interpreting brain activity.

This neuroscience course takes a close look at the intricacies of this fascinating organ that makes us who we are.

 

What Will You Learn?

  • Identify the structural design of a neuron

  • Explain the function of ion channels in the cell membrane
  • State the function of transcranial direct current and transcranial magnetic stimulation
  • Outline the applications for electro-convulsive therapy
  • Define an ‘event-related potential’
  • Discuss the clinical application of different event-related potentials
  • Recall the process for manufacturing silicon wafers

Course Content

MODULE 1: THE BASICS OF NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
This free online course peers inside your head to examine the human brain, the most complicated organ we know. Some scientists say that we know more about the universe than the brain and neurophysiology seeks to change that. We explain how the brain lets neurons exchange information and how researchers can record and interpret brain activity. This course links the laboratory to the world beyond it as we investigate the origins of thought.
