About the minor
This minor provides the students with the fundamental knowledge on the human brain; how it is structured, what are the principles governing its function, and how it can be studied.
After graduating from the Human Neuroscience and Technology minor, the students
- will have solid foundational knowledge on the human brain, both on its structure and function
- will be able to describe the core components of human cognition
- will be able to describe how to study the human brain and how to analyze signals measured from the brain
