Neuroscience of Human Movement will focus on the neural system responsible for movement generation, movement control and learning of actions. The course will start from the very basics of neuroscience and build theory to understand the movement control system in relatively good detail and depth. The successful student of this course will be able to appreciate in-depth, the brain processes that control movement. INTENDED AUDIENCE: Students with an interest in Neuroscience PREREQUISITES: Motivation & open-mindedness is the only pre-requisite INDUSTRY SUPPORT: This course will prepare individuals with no knowledge of neuroscience to become knowledgeable about the neuroscience of movements
