Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience: Neuropsychology (PSYC0068)

This module teaches how lesion approaches can be used to advance the field of cognitive neuroscience. A series of case demonstrations will be given, each of a patient with a circumscribed brain lesion and associated functional deficit. Theoretical issues surrounding neuropsychological data, and how to use magnetic resonance imaging to characterise structural and functional aspects of brain lesions, will be discussed. The module may also consider 'virtual lesions', brought about by transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation. Lesion techniques in humans will be discussed alongside work using animal models.

Assessment: One 2000-3000 word written report.

Business Continuity and Organisational Resilience (IRDR0017)

This module aims to give the understanding of Business Continuity Management (BCM) as an essential process for enhancing organisational resilience in the public and private sectors. It aims to enable students to integrate resilience in “business as usual” management, supporting them in understanding of how developing the analysis of requirements, design and implement solutions, validating the objectives and procedures put in place. The students will be able to critically analyse the challenges for organizational resilience in different contexts, building up on good practices and procedures shared during the course. Finally, they should also be able to recall the tools explained in the course, such as threat and risk analysis, and be familiar with the collaborative approach required to implement them in a comprehensive process.

The module consists of an overview of Business Continuity Management (BCM) and its application for building organizational resilience, including:

The BCM Lifecycle; ISO standards;

 

The core lectures will be supported by group exercises to give familiarity with BCM as a process, while a set of guest speakers will share their experiences. The participants are encouraged to actively contribute to the lessons.

Analysis of requirements;
	Design and implementation of solutions;
	Validation of the objectives and procedures;
	Business impact analysis and threat and risk analysis;
	Good practices for integrating BCM in “business as usual” management.
