Statistical Methods for Cognitive Psychologists

Level
- This is a course planned with the needs in mind of a graduate student starting as a PhD student at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences and related institutions. It will in addition be open to others e.g. research assistants, junior scientists, visitors.
Style
- The presentation will be as fairly formal lectures, each aiming
  - to outline a particular class of methods
  - to give examples of it being applied to realistic situations
  - to indicate how to implement it using software available at CBU
Location
- Lectures will take place in the West Wing Lecture Theatre on Thursdays from 11 am till 12 noon and are being given by [mailto:ian.nimmo-smith@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk Ian Nimmo-Smith] and [mailto:peter.watson@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk Peter Watson] who will welcome any feedback.

Links to updated PowerPoint and PDF files of the lecture notes are being added during the progress of the course.
