Evaluation• Project will be a written research proposal
describing a research question, its significance, and the proposed methodology…more details in the coming weeks

GradesYour final Letter grade will be calculated as follows:Percentage Letter Grade90-100 A+84-89 A80-83 A-77-79 B+73-76 B70-72 B-67-69 C+63-66 C60-62 C-55-59 D+50-54 D<50 F
Rounding will be by convention except when I decide otherwise!

The Methods of Cognitive Neuroscience
• How many of you have heard the statement that you only use 10% of your brain?
![Page 14: Neuroscience 3680 - Cognitive Neuroscience Dr. Matthew Tata.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032309/56649d2b5503460f94a01478/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Methods of Cognitive Neuroscience
• How many of you have heard the statement that you only use 10% of your brain?
• What do you suppose this means?

The Methods of Cognitive Neuroscience
• How many of you have heard the statement that you only use 10% of your brain?
• What do you suppose this means?
• Is it true? How could you know?
