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.

Dr Chudler,
ReplyDeleteWould you like to do a one-day workshop for teachers who teach pre-schoolers, say up to six years of age. We can include some parents too.
We are a school who is very eager to incorporate Brain Development as a serious part of the training course.
We are based in bangalore.
Warm regards.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your very kind invitation. Unfortunately, I will be teaching every day and will be unable to get away from those responsibilities. Best of luck with your work.

Good luck for the workshop!
ReplyDeleteAs I am interested in Neuroscience options in India, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could let me know which Institute or University organized this workshop.
Best wishes,
Anna
