INTERDISCIPLINARY (99)The project sustains and expands a fundamentals of neuroscience course for non-science students while simultaneously growing the previously successful outreach to underserved pre-college students. In addition, the project aids faculty to incorporate neuroscience as a means of promoting science literacy into their course offerings. The project develops a series of diverse laboratory experiences spanning increasing degrees of complexity, from dissection of sheep brain, to electroencephalograms, to real-time assessment of language comprehension. The laboratory exercises guide students toward reading and understanding primary literature, devising experiments, reflecting upon experimental results and presenting findings.

跨学科（99）该项目维持和扩大神经科学课程的非理科学生的基础知识，同时增长以前成功的推广服务不足的大学预科学生。此外，该项目还帮助教师将神经科学作为促进科学素养的一种手段纳入他们的课程。该项目开发了一系列不同的实验室经验，涵盖了越来越多的复杂程度，从羊脑解剖到脑电图，再到语言理解的实时评估。实验练习引导学生进行阅读和理解主要文献，设计实验，反思实验结果并提出研究结果。
