09F, 10F: 2A
Your brain is composed of low-precision, slow, sparsely-connected computing elements, yet it outperforms any extant computer on tasks ranging from perception to planning. Computational Neuroscience has as its twin goals the scientific understanding of how brains compute thought, and the engineering capability to reconstruct the identified computations. Topics in the class included anatomical circuit design, physiological operating rules, evolutionary derivation, mathematical analyses, and emergent behavior, as well as development of applications from robotics to medicine. Dist: SCI. Granger.
45. Behavioral Neuroscience
10X: 9L
We are complex organisms that perform complex behaviors. In this course we will explore the neurological underpinnings of behavior. Some topics we will cover include the neural control of life-sustaining behaviors such as eating, drinking and sleeping. In addition, we will explore how the brain contributes to the display of other complex behaviors such as aggression, sexual behavior and reward. We will use the text, primary research articles and case studies to examine the relationship between brain and behavior. Prerequisite: Psychology 6 or Biology 34. Dist: SCI. Robinson.
46. Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience
10S, 11S: 11
This course focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the development and function of the nervous system.

A fundamental understanding of membrane and synaptic potentials is recommended. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Taube.
In 10W at 10, Evolutionary Psychology. In this course, we examine the human mind and behavior within a broad evolutionary context. After a brief introduction to principles of evolution, we consider how sex and reproductive strategies influence male and female behavior in a variety of species, including humans. We then uncover the structure of the human mind by revisiting our vertebrate, mammalian, primate, and human ancestors. The importance of social factors in our evolutionary history will be highlighted. Throughout the course, we will consider how the most enigmatic and compelling of human qualities, such as love, aggression, morality and culture, are shaped by both personal and evolutionary history. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Kralik.
In 10W at 11, Exotic Sensory Systems. Humans have 5 special senses (vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell) and a variety of ‘internal senses’ that provide information about the state of our body and internal organs. However, some animals possess senses that are unlike anything that humans can experience. Examples include echolocation, celestial and geomagnetic navigational systems, and bioelectricity. This course explores the discovery and operation of these ‘exotic’ senses, highlighting both the similarities and differences with our own more familiar sensory modalities. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6 and 21 or instructors’ permission. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Hughes.
In 10S at 2A, Sleep and Sleep Disorders. This course will explore the basic biological mechanisms of sleep and circadian rhythms, including neuroanatomical and neurophysiological aspects of sleep/wake, as well as the behavioral and social aspects of normal sleep. The course will then build upon this basic understanding of normal sleep and circadian rhythm to develop an overview of major sleep and circadian rhythm disorders. The importance of sleep to adequate daytime neuropsychological functioning and the social, public policy and economic issues pertinent to sleep and circadian rhythms will be addressed. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Sateia.
51. Issues in Information Processing
09F: 2 10S: 12

Selection of issues is left to the discretion of the instructor, but specific emphasis is given to methodology.
In 09F at 2. History of Psychology. Harvard Philosopher George Santayana said “those that cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” (Life of Reason, 1905). Is that happening right now in Psychology? The goal of this course is to enrich our understanding of current psychological theory by understanding its intellectual origins. We will trace the origins of the current influential schools of thought in psychology to determine what is really new, and what was anticipated by earlier generations. We will see that early psychologists, without the aid of modern technologies, came up with some incredibly clever ways to solve experimental problems, many supplying answers that have held up to this day. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Hughes and Whalen.
In 10S at 12, Attention. In our everyday environment, a massive amount of information pours into our sensory organs, but only a small subset of it reaches awareness. What determines how much information is passed on to higher levels of processing? In this course, we will explore this classic question of capacity limits on human information processing with particular emphasis on the role of attention. Through lectures and discussions, we will examine the cognitive and neural mechanisms of attention. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Shim.
52. Issues in Learning and Development

53. Issues in Social Psychology
09F, 10W: 2A 10S: 10A
Courses with this number consider several important sub-fields of social psychology. Material is treated at an intermediate level on a set of issues that are not covered in Psychology 23. Selection of issues is left to the discretion of the instructor, but specific emphasis is given to individual and group attitudes, modes of interpersonal communication, and behavior control in humans and animals. Dist: SOC.
In 09F at 2A, Stereotypes, Prejudice and Discrimination. Humans are social creatures; relationships are critical for our survival. The formation of groups, however, gives rise to ingroup favoritism and discrimination toward outgroup members. This course examines the causes and consequences of stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination; emphasizes sociocultural and neuroscience perspectives; and considers the effects of perceived discrimination on members of stereotyped groups. Finally, we explore implications for education, business and government; and will discuss techniques for reducing discrimination.
Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Norris.
In 10W at 2A. Interpersonal Relationships. Examines the initiation, maintenance, and termination of personal relationships. Beginning with an examination of basic motives for affiliation, the course examines ecological, situational, and personal factors that increase liking for and desires to affiliate with specific persons. We consider various biological, psychological, sociological, and evolutionary theories of attraction and affiliation. A major focus of the course is intimate relationships and the factors that sustain or dissolve them. Specific topics will include motives for affiliation, biological basis of relationships, individual factors such as shyness, intimacy, and loneliness, types of relationships such as friendships, dating relationships, and family (siblings, parents, children), as well as theories of love, mate selection, marital satisfaction, and finally, predictors of divorce.
Prerequisite: Psychology 1 and Psychology 23. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Heatherton.
In 10S at 10A, Emotion. Long before the field of Psychology existed, there was an appreciation that our emotions exert a profound influence over our behavior. Psychology must struggle with the more tangible question of how to study emotions and thereby interpret their influence on behavior. In this course, we will examine how psychologists (past and present) have attempted to study emotion. We will augment this information by learning how the brain supports emotional processing. We will then consider human disorders where emotional processing has gone wrong, as this will inform us about how things were supposed to work in the first place. And, then, we will be in a better position to answer the really big questions. What is an emotion? Who has emotions? Do you? Does your neighbor? Do German Shepherds? How do you know? Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6. Enrollment limited to 35 students. Whalen.
In 10S at 10A. Psychology of Decision-making. Life is full of decisions. We make dozens each day, some trivial and some that shape our future. We will cover theories of optimal decision making and we will look at how people actually make decisions. We will examine people making decisions in isolation and people making decisions with and in opposition to other people. We will consider ways to improve decision making. Topics will include: utilities, uncertainty, heuristics, bias, framing, overconfidence, cooperation, competition, negotiation, and so forth. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6, 10 and either 23 or 28. Wolford.
60-68. Laboratories in Psychology
60. Principles of Human Brain Mapping with fMRI

80. Face Perception: Cognitive, Neural, Computational, and Social Perspectives
09F: 2A
Face perception is one of the most highly developed visual skills and plays a central role in social communication. This seminar will take a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding face perception, covering cognitive, neural, and computational models for how face perception systems are structured in the human and nonhuman primate brain and in machine vision. Requirements will be a mid-term exam and a seminar paper. Permission of instructor. Haxby.
81. The Self
09F: 2A
This course will survey contemporary approaches to understanding the self, with a strong emphasis on approaches from social psychology. We will consider self’s development, its cognitive and affective components, motives related to it, and how it is regulated. We will consider its functional basis, examining both its adaptive and maladaptive consequences. We will also examine its neurological basis, including case studies of people with disorders of self. Prerequisites: Psychology 1, 23 and permission of instructor. Heatherton.
81. Neural Basis of Volition and Mental Causation
10S: 2A
How can we have a will that is free, when our volition, actions, thoughts, and choices must all be realized in the activity of neurons, which are themselves subject to physical laws? Is free will then a mere illusion? This course examines the neural and psychological bases of what we perceive as our ability to determine our own physical and mental activity, inhibit unwanted actions and thoughts, and make choices freely. Open to senior/junior Psychology/Neuroscience majors. Permission of instructor. Tse.
81. Perceptual Development
10W: 2A
Understanding how the human brain learns to perceive objects is one of the fundamental challenges in neuroscience. This seminar will cover topics of infants’ perceptual development as well as neural plasticity in adolescents and adults. Case studies of atypical visual development will also be discussed. Students are expected to review current trends in perceptual development literature. In class discussions, a mid-term exam and a seminar paper will be required. Prerequisites: Psychology 21 and permission of the instructor. Meng.
83. The Social Psychology of Health Behavior
09F: 10A
This seminar will focus on psychosocial factors related to health behavior and health status. We will examine interpersonal/social processes, such as racial discrimination and social comparison, and cognitive processes, such as risk perceptions, stereotyping and attitude change. We will explore how these processes affect behaviors that are health-promotion, such as nutrition and exercise, and health-impairing, including substance abuse and risky sexual behavior. We will apply various social psychological theories and principles (e.g., reasoned action, implicit attitude formation) to study of these behaviors. There will be a mid-term exam and a paper; a version of the latter will be presented in class. Class participation is expected. Permission of instructor. Gibbons.
83. Non-Verbal Aspects of Social Interaction
10W: 10A
The seminar will focus on the nonverbal and paraverbal dimensions of human communication. Particular attention will be given to research which has examined the role of gaze behavior, facial expressions of emotion and appearance cues in social relationships. Video records of social interaction will be used to demonstrate and illustrate the various ways in which nonverbal behaviors play an important role in interpersonal dynamics. A mid-term exam, a seminar paper and participation in class discussions are the mechanisms through which the student’s mastery of the seminar materials is assessed. Permission of instructor. Kleck.
83. Attitude and Persuasion
10S: 2A
Red Sox vs. Yankees, Clinton vs. Obama, Coke vs. Pepsi – we are hold strong beliefs and attitudes about the objects and people we encounter in the world. This course will examine how these beliefs are formed and changed, as well as how they influence our behavior in daily life. Given that in 1935 Gordon Allport, the father of attitudes, defined an attitude as “a mental and neural state of readiness”, we will integrate social psychological and neuroscience research to better understand how attitudes function. Examples will be drawn from marketing and advertising, politics, and the history of racial prejudice in American as we explore the broad impact of attitudes on our lives. Permission of instructor. Norris.
84. Psychology and Law
10W: 2A
The course will cover certain topics about which psychological theory and data are adduced to affect the deliberations of courts, juries, and other fact-finding or policy-making bodies. Among these topics is the issue of the place of psychological science in the law, illustrated by considering two questions: first, whether psychologists whose expertise is in the field of eyewitness testimony should testify in eyewitness cases; and second, whether attitudes toward the death penalty affect jury decision-making in capital cases. Then we will consider the psychology of sex differences and several issues concerning occupational segregation, pay differentials, sexual harassment, Title IX, etc. Finally, we will choose from among such topics as the accuracy of memory for legally relevant events like abuse, and the relation between neuropsychology and legal concepts of free will and intent. Permission of instructor. Elliott.
86. Prefrontal Cortex and Executive Control
10S: 10A
The prefrontal cortex carries out processes collectively called executive control which orchestrates the activities of other brain systems and underlies some of our most sophisticated cognitive capacities. Executive control allows us to solve unfamiliar problems and plan far in advance. It balances our more primitives drives with thoughtfulness and tempers impulsivity with patience. Through executive control, we are better able to single out important details, produce sensible solutions, and transfer knowledge among domains. In this course we study the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying executive control, including attention, emotion regulation, and the resulting interplay between the prefrontal cortex and older brain systems. Permission of instructor. Kralik.
87. Nature and Nurture
09F: 10A
One of the continuing discussions of our era is whether differences between individuals can be attributed to inherent characteristics or to environmental influences, in other words, the nature-nurture debate. We will examine writings representing the spectrum of arguments, particularly those taking modern combinatorial or interactionist positions. Analyses of both animal and human behaviors will be included. Students will select a particular behavioral domain of interest to them and review current information about the sources of variation in that behavior. Permission of instructor. Cramer.
