| Course objective : | ·Familiarizing student with different psychophysiological techniques, both peripheral (cardiac, muscular and electrodermal activities) and central techniques (evoked potentials, Pet Scan, MEG, IRMf). ·Showing contribution of psychophysiology in the study of psychological processes, such as memory, development and ageing. ·Showing the interest of psychophysiology in a clinical context as diagnostic tool and to study disturbances in information processing in differents psychopathologies. | |||||
