<br>Advances in neuroscience and neuroimaging technology are transforming the way educational content is 
<br>delivered. This emerging field, also called neuroeducation, concerns with the interaction between mind, brain, 
<br>and education which has been considered as a promising approach to understand and improve our learning 
<br>and teaching experience. In this subject, we would like to introduce novel brain-mapping methods in 
<br>educational research. Students will develop interdisciplinary thinking and basic research analysis skills toward 
<br>individual academic and professional goals.

<br>Teaching Methods:
<br>
<br>Subject presentation combines lecture, presentation, tutorial and laboratory sessions, and research and 
<br>development work for the assignments. The tutorial sessions focus on hands-on experience in brain data 
<br>analytics tools and understanding and interpretation of the results. The laboratory sessions focus on hands-
<br>on experience in carrying out experiments and developing a small research project.
