Risk, Uncertainty and Complexity in Decision-Making (BPLN0026)

This module introduces and critically reviews the treatment of risk, uncertainty and complexity during infrastructure planning and development. The module evaluates research findings from disciplines where risk, uncertainty and complexity are at the heart of their decision-making processes (such as military planning, public health and vector control, insurance risk, project finance, earthquake engineering, flood prevention and cyber security) and seeks to transfer lessons learned to enhance current infrastructure development practice.

The History and Theory of Engineering and Architecture (H&amp;T/E&amp;A) in the built environment will be introduced via a series of lectures, combined with...

Introduction to the Brain and Imaging the Brain (PALS0001)

The module will introduce students to the central nervous system with particular emphasis being placed on brain structures known to be involved in language processing. Following that, focus will be given to the different imaging technologies currently in use (MRI, fMRI, EEG, MEG, fNIR and TMS) as well as the classic Lesion Method. Research designs applied to all of these methods will be discussed. Discussion of each method will include their strengths and weaknesses; underlying principles, and interpretation of any brain images derived from their use. The module will be taught by researchers who are experts in their field.

The objective of the module is to enable students to read, understand and evaluate journal articles that report studies based on lesion analysis and imaging technologies and provide the base for carrying out similar work for their project and/or in their future career.
