We make thousands of decisions every day. Do I cross the road now, or wait for the oncoming truck to pass? Should I eat fries or a salad for lunch? How much should I tip the cab driver? We usually make these decisions with almost no thought, using what psychologists call “heuristics” – rules of thumb that enable us to navigate our lives. Without these mental shortcuts, we would be paralyzed by the multitude of daily choices. But in certain circumstances, these shortcuts lead to predictable errors – predictable, that is, if we know what to watch out for. Did you know, for example, that we are naturally biased towards selling investments that are doing well for us, but holding on to those that are doing poorly? Or that we often select sub-optimal insurance payment plans, and routinely purchase insurance that we don’t even need? And why do so many of us fail to enroll in our employer’s corporate retirement plans, even when the employer offers to match our contributions? Behavioral finance is the study of these and dozens of other financial decision-making errors that can be avoided, if we are familiar with the biases that cause them. In this course, we examine these predictable errors, and discover where we are most susceptible to them. This course is intended to guide participants towards better financial choices. Learn how to improve your spending, saving, and investing decisions for the future.

You will engage in a course-long behavior change experiment as well as brief quizzes. Please note: this course is designed to introduce you to a range of contemporary approaches to behavioral treatments; however, it will not provide the skills needed to implement psychological interventions with others (this requires years of graduate training) nor is it designed to address or resolve your own psychological problems. For each module, students will complete 1 assignment related to their personal behavior change project and 1 quiz on the week’s material.

Lecture Collection from Stanford: Human Behavioral Biology. (March 29, 2010) Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky gave the opening lecture of the course entitled Human Behavioral Biology and explains the basic premise of the course and how he aims to avoid categorical thinking. How many of you think there is a genetic influence on sexual orientation? How many of you think prenatal events influence your political opinion 30 years later? Is there a valid way with biology to understand who is religious and who isn't? Does it explain people's beliefs in God, Souls, Evil, Free Will and Evolution? Get answers to these questions and more on this lecture collection from Stanford University on Human Behavioural Biology.

The study of neuroscience includes many branches, including neuropsychology, molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral neuroscience, among many others. Expand your biomedical research expertise by learning how to use mouse behaviors to study psychiatric disorders in humans. Before research is conducted to understand the human brain, cognition, and the nervous system, studies often first use mice because of the similarities in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurobiology. By studying brain function in mice, we gain insight into how the human brain works. Enhance your knowledge of mental health conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and depression in humans and animals, and the role of animal models and animal behavior in studying human behavior and psychiatric disorders by comparing and contrasting human and mouse behavior. Created by Professor Abel Bult-Ito at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, this certificate program, helps you obtain the skills you need to succeed in the biomedical research field by covering the fundamentals of behavioral neuroscience research. Enrollment in the certificate program includes three online neuroscience courses that focus on research using mice and mental health conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and anxiety. Behavioral health, such as the treatment of psychiatric disorders and prevention of suicide, is still one of the biggest challenges in medicine and healthcare today and will continue to be a top priority for scientific research. By completing these online courses, you’ll have learned responsible conduct of research in behavioral neuroscience; collected, analyzed, and interpreted behavioral data from mice; critically evaluated the use of different behavioral tests in mice; and established a foundation in using behavioral tests in rodents. (Backgrounds in data analysis or data science are not necessary to successfully complete these courses.) Learners will also have obtained important behavioral neuroscience tools, knowhow, and expertise. Learn responsible conduct of research in order to collect, analyze, and interpret behavioral data from mouse videos. Critically evaluate the use of different behavioral tests in mice.
