The course "Foundations of Neuroscience" delves into the neural and biological foundations of influence and persuasion, providing a comprehensive understanding of how the brain processes sensory, emotional, and cognitive information. You will explore key brain regions and their role in decision-making, memory, attention, and emotion, essential for effective communication strategies. By gaining hands-on experience with neuroscience measurement techniques, you will learn to assess the impact of influence campaigns through implicit and explicit methods.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
