This course will provide an introduction to programming for students in the life sciences with no prior programming experience. At the end of this course, students will be able to implement functions independently to solve many common programming challenges associated with the study of the mind, brain and behavior — from conducting sophisticated data analyses to parsing complex data files to implementing psychophysics experiments. The course is designed for students in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience and other non-computer science majors interested in learning programming. Beyond teaching specific coding skills, this course will support students’ development as computational thinkers.
