In the empirical-experimental exercise students apply and deepen their basic knowledge of neurocognitive research methods. The objective of the class is to familiarize students with experimental research by providing "hands-on" experience in designing, conducting, analyzing, interpreting, and writing up one experimental study. The empirical-experimental exercise is concluded with a documented individual report on the empirical project following APA guidelines.
As a result of careful study and fulfillment of the course assignments, students should be able to:
- Identify relevant research problems in cognitive neuroscience
- Formulate research hypotheses that can be empirically investigated
- Design experimental neurocognitive studies
- Understand the ethical implications of the research
- Apply principles of open and reproducible science
- Execute experimental studies by collecting research data under carefully controlled conditions
- Summarize and statistically analyze research data
- Evaluate research results and draw conclusions pertaining to hypotheses
- Communicate research studies in oral, written, and poster formats
