Emphasizing the neurobiology of sleep state, this course introduces students to the laboratory study of human sleep and its psychological correlates. Serving as both experimenter and subject, each student learns the physical rationale and techniques of electroencephalography and other bioelectric measures of behavioral state. Analyzing data they have collected themselves, students work in small groups to complete a collaborative term project. Overnight sleep recording sessions are required.
