The affective neuroscience seminar will examine the psychological and neural basis of emotion, the role of ‘top-down’ processes in emotion such as language and cognitive control, and individual differences across development, healthy adults and clinical populations. Some questions we will explore are: Why do some people excel at understanding thoughts and feelings more than others, while others have major difficulties doing so? What is the basis of so-called intuitions, the ‘it’ factor, charm or charisma? What does neuroscience tell us about the nature of emotions? Students should be interested in psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience. A background of at least two previous classes in at least one of these fields is recommended. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: Either PSYC 051 PO or NEUR 101 PO . Recommended: Any one additional course in PSYC or NEUR.
