CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
40583	Lecture-Discussion	GJG	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	108 Bevier Hall	Green, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/20-12/09/20 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic Title: Neurolinguistics and ERP methods. Description: This course is an overview in topics in neurolinguistics, focusing on the use of event-related potentials (ERPs) as a tool to study human language comprehension. The main goals of this course are for students to become familiar with the types of questions different neurolinguistic methods can answer and to become proficient in reading, understanding, and critically analyzing ERP research. The course will cover basic principles of human electrophysiology and the organization of language in the brain. We will then learn what different components of ERPs can tell us by looking at experiments from primary literature. As a final project, students will propose a novel experiment using ERPs designed to address a question of their choice related to language.

No prior background in statistics is assumed. The goal of the course is for students to understand statistical concepts and analyses, in order to do analyses that are reasonable and appropriate. Focus will be placed on a critical analysis of current methods, as well as on scientific reproducibility and transparency. The course will begin with an overview of descriptive statistics, and will continue to hypothesis testing and linear regression. The course will be taught using the R software environment.
