Sensory Neuroscience Syllabus

HCS 8V50-001
Fall, 2005
Instructors: Drs. Michael P. Kilgard and Stephen G. Lomber
Offices: JO 4.304 and JO 4.202
Office Hours: by appointment
Office Phone: x2339 and x2235
E-mail: kilgard@utdallas.eduand lomber@utdallas.edu

Class Time: 4-6 pm Thursday

Location: JO4.102

Course Objectives:

The overall objective of the course is to build a thorough understanding of the issues that are presently
being addressed in systems-level cortical processing throughout the sensory (audition, vision,
somatosensation) and motor systems. Each week we will cover two journal articles in depth. No text book
is required for the class. Readings will be from seminal or provocative articles chosen by the participants.

Student Assessment:

Students registered for credit will be expected to attend all class meetings, participate in all discussions, and
present at least two articles over the course of the semester. Other class participants will be requested to
present one article during the semester. Presentations should be thorough and clear enough so that a
participant need not have read the article before the class meeting in order to participate in the discussion.
The use of computer -based presentations, rather than overheads, are encouraged. A computer and video
projector will be available at each class. The course is pass/fail. No letter grades will be issued.

Readings:

Readings for the class will be selected by the participants. The readings for each week will be announced
during the previous class, at the latest. The articles must be available on-line. Presenters are asked to
email a link to all participants providing a site where the article can be downloaded. The readings should be
selected from one of the following journals ( Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, Journal of Neuroscience,
Journal of Neurophysiology, Cerebral cortex, Neuron, PNAS ). If a participant wishes to present an article
from a different journal, please ask one of the instructors for permission.
