Web-Based Multimedia Textbook in the Behavorial Neuroscience

生物科学（61）这个项目的目标是开发一个基于万维网的行为科学电子教科书，整合理论和数据的标准文本说明，多媒体数据库，以及主要实验范例的演示。基于文本的展示涵盖了标准行为神经科学教科书中所期望的相同材料。将其以电子形式呈现的优点是便于与其他组件集成。多媒体数据库包括展示各种行为现象的流媒体视频，如失语症和自闭症，大脑成像技术，以及基础神经科学的实验室程序。视频还展示了有影响力的神经科学家在他们的实验室中描述他们工作的重要性的片段，以及许多种类的彩色静态图形，如大脑图像，数据图表，实验室设备图片，实验刺激图片，理论模型的图形描述等。Java程序演示了主要的实验范例。学生能够从实验对象的角度体验任务，并了解参与实验的感觉。在许多情况下，学生能够将自己的数据与正常受试者的数据和有特殊缺陷的患者的数据进行比较。作为实现创建电子教科书目标的第一步，根据这个项目的“概念验证”状态，其中一章“语言和大脑”正在全面开发中。关于人类推理、注意力、感知和自闭症的章节中只有部分正在开发中。

Biological Sciences (61)The goal of this project is to develop a World Wide Web-based electronic textbook in behavioral science integrating, standard text-based expositions of theory and data, and a multimedia database, and demonstrations of major experimental paradigms. The text-based expositions cover the same material expected in a standard behavioral neuroscience textbook. The advantage of putting it in electronic form is to facilitate its integration with the other components. The multimedia database includes streaming video to demonstrate a variety of behavioral phenomena such as aphasia and autism, brain imaging technology, and laboratory procedures in basic neuroscience. The video also demonstrates clips of influential neuroscientists in their laboratories describing the importance of their work, and numerous color static graphics of many kinds such as brain images, graphs of data, pictures of laboratory equipment, pictures of experimental stimuli, graphic depictions of theoretical models, etc. Java programs demonstrate the major experimental paradigms. Students are able to experience the task from the subject's point of view and see what it was like to participate in the experiment. In many instances students are able to compare their own data to data from normal subjects and data from patients with particular deficits. As a first step toward the goal of creating the electronic textbook and in accordance with the "proof of concept" status of this project, one chapter, "Language and the Brain" is being developed in full. Only selected portions of the chapters on human reasoning, attention, perception, and autism is being developed.
