This course will examine research investigating the neurological basis of cognition. Material covered will include the study of brain-injured patients, neurophysiological research in animals, and the study of normal cognitive processes in humans with non-invasive behavioral and physiological techniques such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Topics to be covered include perception, attention, memory, language, motor control, executive control, and emotion.

Nice lectures, good overview over cognitive neuroscience! Apart from its contents, some adjustments would be very welcome. To start with, could the 16 minutes of the first lecture please be cut out? It's all about student logistics! Pity we can't hear the speakers from the audience, too.
In 'the principles of neuroscience' the sound quality is very poor and it would be useful to put (a link to) the discussed figures on the website.
