APH 4101 - Essentials of Bioscience


Teaches the fundamentals of electronic circuitry, biochemistry, human electricity, math, & human physiology as used in professional psychophysiology.
Required knowledge of electronic circuitry must be sufficient to understand how a psychophysiological recording device functions and what the controls actually do including roll-off, signal to noise ratios, frequency spectrums, etc. Knowledge of biochemistry must be sufficient to understand the structure of major neurotransmitters, behavior - enzyme interactions, etc. Knowledge of human electricity must be sufficient to understand impulse propagation, direction of electric fields, etc. Knowledge of mathematics must be sufficient to understand behavioral genetics, field studies, and basic statistics. Knowledge of human physiology must be sufficient to understand synapses, motor chains, hormonal feedback cycles, respiration - SNS complexes, etc. as used in professional psychophysiology. 3 credit(s)
