(po angielsku) 30 h lecture hours. 30 h individual work required for effective evaluation of the course plus reviewing of software and projects. 30 h preparation and participation in course assessment No obligatory laboratory work

(po angielsku) W01: Students understand the need for multilevel phenomics, from molecules to behavior; W02: organization of biological organisms at molecular level; • general anatomical structure of the brain; • cognitive functions, relations to other fields of science; W04: mechanisms of visual, tactile, auditory and other forms of perception at biological, structural level; • mechanisms of visual, tactile, auditory and other forms of perception at functional, information flow level; • mechanisms of learning, neuroplasticity and memory at biological, cellular level; • mechanisms of learning and memory at functional, brain network level, examples of some mental disorders; • mechanisms of attention and consciousness. The course should lead to development of the following outcomes: K_01, K_02, K_03, K_04, K_05, K_06, K_07.

(po angielsku) U01: Students are able to: • Find and critically assess information in the Internet and in scientific and popular science journals related to cognitive neuroscience; • summarize main points of the lectures, U03: collect and interpret information from different sources, • formulate important questions and think about implications of learned material, • recognize false assumptions about brain functions and brain disorders; U05: find interesting software tools and databases that may be used to elucidate cognitive mechanisms discussed during lectures. The course should lead to development of the following outcomes: K_U01, K_U02, K_U04, K_U06

(po angielsku) K01 • Students understand ethical and social problems created by rapid development of brain research. Students are: • aware of the complexity of issues related to brain research; K02: critically asses information in media related to new discoveries in cognitive and biological sciences related to the brain research; • understand contributions of cognitive and biological sciences to fathoming human nature; K03: analyze and assess available information to understand possible implications of the knowledge gained; • understand the need to follow scientific literature to catch up with rapid progress in this field.

(po angielsku) • Lectures. • reference to the web pages of important projects in bio/neuro areas; • demonstrations, using video clips.
