The aim of this module is to give students hands-on experience with programming and data management skills. Students will learn to translate a phenomenon of interest into an appropriate experimental paradigm. Further, they will learn the practicalities of how to run an experimental paradigm in a lab setting, i.e., how to present stimuli on a computer monitor, how to acquire behavioural responses from human participants using the computer, and how to model human cognition/behaviour using computer technology. In addition, students will learn how to manipulate complex data they acquire using software packages that are widely used in research laboratories around the world.
