Welcome to the Richard Dean Anderson Forum

Sort-of. I'm taking a class called "Statistical Analysis of fMRI Data" on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/). They're free online classes and I call them a kind of "University Lite" courses since they aren't very long (4-9 weeks) and not as much information as a regular class. Since I have an interest in Cognitive Neuroscience I thought it'd be a good class to take.Star Gazer wrote:Michelle: Are you taking an A&P class?
You're welcome. Coursera has a lot of really nice classes. I've become addicted and am *trying* to pace myself but all I can do is go, "Oh! That's a cool class! I want to take that one!" Currently, I'm taking three:Star Gazer wrote:I just finished up a neuroscience class this past spring; however, most of our focus was on neuronal signaling and memory formation: ion influx -> neurotransmitter release -> (downstream) secondary messengers -> microRNA expression... you get the drift. We only covered about 8 chapters in the textbook (and got to play with honest-to-goodness human brains - awesome!); however, there is so much more to the science, as you know. I wish there were secondary and tertiary classes offered, so that we could cover the whole textbook.
BIG THANK YOU for the Coursera link; I've never heard of this site before - it's got everything, doesn't it? And it's affiliated with some great schools (Duke, UC Irvine, Stanford...)! I can't wait to browse through their curriculum. What classes have you taken so far? Are you planning a career in biology or medicine?
I hope, you don't mind but I took a look at your link and it's amazing!Jemster wrote:Sort-of. I'm taking a class called "Statistical Analysis of fMRI Data" on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/).

Don't mind at all. I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't want to pimp it. I have a few links to educational stuff if anyone is interested.Caty wrote:

Thanks a lot
