The trip to India is less than a month away, so I am busy finishing up my lessons and collecting materials to teach. The plan for my two week neuroscience program with the monks will include:
1. A review of neurotransmission
2. Hemispheric dominance
3. Vision (finish what I did not get to last time)
4. Hearing/touch-pain/smell/taste
5. Learning and memory
6. The Autonomic Nervous System
7. Sleep, dreaming, circadian rhythms
8. Scientific Method/Statistics
I hope that the monastics will have time to do some of their own research on a topic of their own choice. Also, I want to encourage debate and discussion about various neuroethics issues.
