| DESCRIPTION | The dissertation in electrophysiological measurement and analysis requires the student to methodically address an open-ended electrophysiological question or task for which the aims and objectives are defined by the dissertation supervisor prior to commencement and carried out in a structured way. Progress will be monitored by the supervisor and co-supervisor(s) and/or advisor(s), as applicable. The type of work produced, design, experiments, simulation, analysis etc will depend on the dissertation specification and constitutes a defined subset within the area of electrophysiology. Towards the end of the year the student will submit a dissertation not exceeding 20,000 words. Study-Unit Aims: The aims of this study-unit are for the student to address a set task in the area of electrophysiological measurement and analysis. The student will apply various skills of analysis and synthesis learned throughout the course, as well as relevant theories, to address the task at hand through activities that may include data acquisition, experimentation, simulation, design, testing, analysis and use of hardware and/or software devices. Through this project students will learn to plan their investigation, collect data depending on the nature of the research, manage resources, communicate effectively with the supervisory team and enhance their presentation and report-writing skills. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Address a research problem in the area of electrophysiological measurement and analysis in a structured and well-defined manner; - Develop superior knowledge and provide explanations on the specific problem domain captured by the project. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Describe the work performed in a scientific manner by means of a dissertation; - Critically analyse and discuss research publications; - Analyse and design systems related to the investigation; - Deliver formal presentations on the work performed. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: - Research publications and texts as indicated by the supervisory team. |
