Free online courses in Neuroscience

Have you already been to coursera.org? Are you already learning at top speed? No? Well, see you later in your dark age.

I picked this cheeky intro to redmind you that summer is not for slacking off and you can start a nice online course on Basic Behavioral Neurology. Some repetition can be useful for our more advanced readers and those of you who are new to cognition and related stuff, why not try to attend University of Pennsylvania for free?

According to their web page, "the course will cover content on basic behavioral neurology, including an overview of cognitive localization in the brain; the neural basis of language processing; executive function and decision-making; how the brain sees; how the brain represents the body, numbers, and space; an introduction to dementia (i.e. when is some forgetfulness too much?); and an introduction to cool tools for studying thinking (fMRI, TMS, tDCS, MEG, EEG)."

Well, see you in the discussion boards of the course. Have fun.
