Getting started with programming can be challenging as an aspiring PhD-student in the vast field of neuroscience and biomedical research!
Our course familiarizes you with all basic knowledge of designing experiments and scientific computing using Python - in a gentle way.
**The theoretical part includes:**
- general introduction to programming
- elementary components of programming (conditionals, loops, sequences, functions)
- Python syntax
- short overview of object-orientation in python
- introduction to PsychoPy and scientific computing modules
**The practical part contains:**
- building a psychological experiment with Psychopy
- analysis of a Pokémon dataset with several scientific computing modules
**Special thanks goes to...**
