Course Description:

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

Teaching Methods:

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

Ethics Statement on Generative Artificial Intelligence

Grounded in the principles of transparency and responsibility, this course encourages students to leverage
AI for collaboration and mutual learning to enhance the quality of course outputs. In accordance with the
published Guidelines for Collaboration, Co-learning, and Cultivation of Artificial Intelligence Competencies
in University Education, this course adopts the following policy:Conditionally open

Students may briefly explain how generative AI was used for topic ideation, sentence refinement, or
structural reference in the footnotes of the title page or after the bibliography in their assignments or
reports. However, in the "personal reflection report" and "group interview assignment" of this course,
students are not allowed to use generative AI tools for writing assignments. If usage is discovered without
proper disclosure, instructors, the institution, or relevant units have the right to reevaluate the assignment
or report or withhold scores. If the course materials or learning resources have been derived from
generative AI, the instructor will also indicate this in the slides or orally. Students enrolled in this course
agree to the above ethics statement if registering for the class.
