The module is co-ordinated by Dr Helge Gillmeister, to whom queries should be addressed.

The aim of the module is to provide an appreciation of the physiological mechanisms that underlie human behaviour. The brain is an extremely complex organ, and many areas of interest to psychologists are as yet, beyond the reductionist approach adopted here. However, it is hoped that the module will at least establish the possibility that even our deepest thoughts and feelings arise from a combination of electrical and chemical interactions.

The lectures will be taught by Dr Steffan Kennett, Dr Helge Gillmeister & Dr Elia Valentini. PS411 will be supported by additional tutorial classes, which will introduce the use of Powerpoint Presentations and provide information about the other two courseworks.

PS411 is assessed by an oral PowerPoint presentation (worth 10%), an Information Flyer (worth 20%) and an Information Pamphlet (worth 70%). We have designed these pieces of coursework to be interesting, fun and useful. For each, we want you to choose aspects of this module that really

interests you and turn them into educationally useful products. This is a real chance to let your ideas shine and to show us what you find fascinating!
