Neurosciences : audition, langage et musique from edX

Comment ces informations sont-elles traitées par le cerveau? Comment est-on capable de déduire l’état émotionnel d’autrui à partir de la mélodie de sa voix, sa prosodie ? Comment la voix est-elle modifiée pendant un épisode émotionnel, quels sont les mécanismes cérébraux à l’œuvre ? Est-ce que l’apprentissage de la musique modifie la structure du cerveau? Pourquoi certaines personnes sont-elles incapables, par exemple, de percevoir des fausses notes? Quelles sont les conséquences cognitives et psychoaffectives d’une déficience auditive chez les enfants qui n’ont pas encore appris à parler? Pourquoi les personnes âgées ont-elles du mal à comprendre la parole, surtout dans des environnements bruyants? Comment peut-on évaluer ces différents types de troubles? Peut-on y remédier? Et, si tel est le cas, comment?

Telles sont des questions auxquelles des neuroscientifiques de l’Université libre de Bruxelles, de l’Université de Genève et de l’Université de Montréal répondront dans le cours« Neurosciences : audition, langage et musique » est constitué de vidéos, de textes, de tests linguistiques et musicaux en ligne, d’articles scientifiques et de quiz qui vous permettront de bâtir ou d’étoffer vos connaissances sur la neuro-cognition du langage, de la prosodie et de la musique.

What's inside

Learning objectives

Le mooc propose une expérience d’apprentissage autoportante qui vous permettra d’aborder 3 grandes thématiques (audition, langage et musique) par le biais d’études menées dans le champ des neurosciences.
La nature autoportante du cours signifie que tout le matériel pédagogique de ce mooc est disponible et prêt à être utilisé de sorte que chaque étudiant soit en mesure de cheminer à son propre rythme sans besoin d'intervention d'un professeur. dans ce contexte, aucun professeur ou expert ne sera officiellement attitré pour vous accompagner de façon personnalisée ou pour répondre à vos éventuelles questions sur la matière.
À l’intérieur de chaque module, nos expert.e.s vous présenteront, par le biais de vidéos et/ou de textes, les résultats de la recherche en neurosciences. vous aurez ensuite l’occasion de réaliser différents types d’exercices pour vous entraîner ou tester votre compréhension.

À la fin de chaque module, une évaluation de type qcm (questions à choix multiples) vous aidera à déterminer dans quelle mesure vous maitrisez la matière présentée.
En fin de mooc, une évaluation finale de type qcm vous permettra, en cas de réussite, de télécharger gratuitement une attestation de suivi avec succès.
