Biological Psychology

The main objective of psychology is to understand how our minds work and apply it to issues in reality. The aim of this course is to gain the basic knowledge of biological mechanisms underlying our minds and to associate it with human abilities such as perceiving and recognizing objects, moving our limbs, and inferring other's mental states. Throughout this course, you will benefit from learning the structure and function of our nervous system. Moreover, this course provides training on interdisciplinary synthesis and disciplinary depth. This course is in deep connection with other key courses of the program such as Introduction to Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Social Cognition, Developmental Psychology, and Human Motivation. The course complements these courses by understanding the contents in these courses in biological perspective.
