Objectives of the Course	The objectives of the course are to: familiarise students with the basic physiological process of humans and their relation to particular behaviours raise awareness on the significant role of human physiology and nervous system on sensational, perceptual, emotional, and cognitive functions
Course Content	This course covers how human physiological, as well as neural and cortical (i.e., brain) processing and functions, play a role in human behaviors. Therefore, the course mainly involves the topics of sensational and perceptual processes and the ones of hormones, neuroanatomy (e.g., the structure of the nervous system), sleep-wake cycle (e.g., states of consciousness), and brain functions (e.g., localization and lateralization of functions) along with the neuroimaging strategies and techniques.
