A series of TED-style talks (followed by Q&A/discussion) with researchers at UM not just about their own studies but the “bigger picture” related to their research on aging. Most focus on attention, memory, and emotion. No materials to purchase; occasional advance or follow-up readings may be distributed by email.

This course for those 50 and above will feature several researchers at the University of Michigan who use a variety of behavioral and neuroscience techniques to explore the basic principles of attention, memory, and emotion, and how those functions may change as we get older.

The study group will meet for two hours on Tuesdays from September 12 - November 7(except on October 17).
