Medical Genetics
The lecture will be focused on pedigree analysis. We will see examples of the different modes of inheritance of genetic diseases (e.g. autosomal vs X-linked, dominant vs recessive, maternal etc), their main features and how to discriminate them. We will also analyse segregation of mutant and wild type alleles and introduce the concept of molecular markers to be used in genetic analysis.
Monday May 19, from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm
Molecular Cell Biology
Monday March 17, from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm
Data Science in healthcare
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are computational models inspired by the structure and functionality of biological neural networks, particularly how the brain processes information and learns patterns. These models are fundamental to modern AI, enabling tasks like image recognition and language processing. This lecture provides an introductory overview of ANNs, covering their key components: neurons, weights, activation functions, and layers. Understanding these elements is essential for grasping how neural networks learn from data and make predictions, forming the basis for more advanced AI applications.
Tuesday March 25, from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm
Information ethics as critical theory
The ethics of AI can be developed as one of the many forms of applied ethics: using some general principles (respect, justice, beneficence, non-maleficence) and applying them to the case of AI. But this would not be enough: a radical examination of the ethical issues raised by AI requires a critical approach, i.e. an inquiry into the relations of power that generate, surround and support the actual uses of AI. In that sense, the main principle is empowerment and the avoidance of oppression.
Thursday March 13, from 2 pm to 6 pm
Advanced Topics in Cognitive Psychology
Neural Mechanisms of Bodily self-consciousness - how the brain generates the subjective experience of being here and now by integrating motor and multisensory bodily cues.
Thursday April 17, from 9 am to 1 pm
Decision making and behavior
How to improve patients’ decision-making.
Tuesday May 6, from 2 pm to 6 pm
Advances in Behavioral neuroscience
Self conscious emotions: in this lecture we will talk about self-conscious emotions, which require the emergence of self-reflection, and therefore appear in the middle of the second year of life. These emotions require the development of a specific set of standards, rules, and goals which are linked to the family and culture, as well as ideas about your personal responsibility.
Tuesday May 13, from 9 am to 11 am
Data journalism and Social Media
How to spoil good data: from misconception to false memories.
