| IPH5005 | Affective Neuroscience for Precision Medicine | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Joyful, happy, sad, angry, disgusting, painful, bored... we experience these emotions all the time, and these experience keep changing every moment. How can we "define" emotions? How can we "study" emotions? What are the "bodily factors" that influence emotions? How we "measure" bodily response of emotions? What are the "brain representations" of emotions? In this class, you will first learn methodologies for affective neuroscience (focusing on fMRI), and learn some key topics of affective neuroscience, esp. related to precision medicine. | |||||||||
| IPH5006 | Basic Statistics for Precision Medicine | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| Data are everywhere. Data science already became a key element in many research and industrial areas. The primary aim of this course is to learn basic concepts and skills for data analysis, including concepts of random variables, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, linear modeling, data visualization, etc., preparing you for your life after the graduation in this data-are-everywhere age. However, this is not the only aim of this class. Statistics goes beyond just data analysis, I believe. Statistics is a way of thinking and reasoning. It helps with scientific reasoning and critical thinking. Thus, I hope this class could provide you with some useful tips for scientific thinking and reasoning. | |||||||||

| To apply precision medicine methods to treatment and prevention of cognitive disorders an understanding of the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie human mental processes is required. This course will provide students an understanding of human cognition and behaviors by exploring current issues and findings in the field of psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI. Topics include sensory perception, attention, memory, language, emotion, social cognition, and cognitive control. Students will read and discuss the current research findings in the field and develop research ideas of their own. | |||||||||

| IPH5015 | Biomimetic Electronic Devices | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | English | Yes | |
| To practically realize the personal precision medicine, all bio-signals need to be monitored in real time with high sensitivity and accuracy, and then wirelessly transmitted to clouding computing for big data processing. However, since current Si based electronic devices cannot directly monitor the bio-signals such as ions, proton and molecules with lower energy consumption, collecting the real time big data will be practically difficult to realize. Therefore, in this lecture, the biomimetic electronic devices where the current is modulated by ions, proton and molecules will be introduced and discussed about their applications in the personalized precision medicine. | |||||||||
