Objectives
Objectives
LO1: To explain the main aspects of brain function and its relationship with affective and cognitive activity. LO2: To describe the neural bases of cognition studied using psychophysiological and neuroimaging techniques. LO3: To select the most appropriate neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods for a specific research or clinical purpose. LO4: To comprehend and distinguish the functioning and the data generated by the different neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Expository and demonstrative methodologies. Use of laboratory resources. Laboratory practice in this context is fundamental for understanding the different experimental paradigms in cognitive neuroscience, as well as for interpreting the data generated by the various neurophysiological methods.

Assessment
Assessment
A avaliação da UC será feita através de 3 modalidades de avaliação:
(1) 1 teste final (50% da nota final) sobre as aulas teóricas;
(2) 1 apresentação oral em grupo (25%) de um dos temas contidos na UC de Neurociência Cognitiva, sendo avaliados os seguintes elementos: 1) Identificação e definição do tema; 2) Articulação entre processos e estruturas cerebrais; 3) Descrição dos modelos e paradigmas mais relevantes; 4) Investigação relevante; 5) Aplicações práticas;
(3) 1 trabalho prático individual (25%) que consiste na elaboração de um breve artigo científico (10 páginas no máximo), sobre um dos temas sugeridos pelo docente; os/as estudantes terão de realizar uma breve revisão de literatura, elaboração de hipóteses, descrição da amostra, análise de dados e discussão (informação: todos os materiais necessários serão distribuídos pelo docente).
Nota: estudantes com estatuto especial que não possam comparecer às avaliações marcadas devem sinalizar a situação, atempadamente, de forma a agendar uma avaliação em tudo semelhante à prevista, mantendo a equidade de avaliação entre estudantes.
