This course explores complexities in the study of psychophysiology to understand human experience. We consider questions like, how is the body involved in generating emotional experience? What can we learn about socially important processes by measuring activity in the body? How does measuring the body help us understand why some people thrive and others struggle with mental health? Students will learn about body systems involved in socio-emotional outcomes and how they are measured and will consider benefits and interpretive challenges inherent to this area of research.
