six experiments are obtained. A student can also design additional experiments in the areas
other than the groups’ area and present them along with presentations of respective areas. Six
presentations and twelve supervision sessions are required for this. (1 credit).
UNIT 2: Experimental Computerizing: All students have to learn one open‐source package for
computerizing experiment (for example, PEBL, OpenSesame‐0.25, etc.). This may be done by
workshop by the teacher/students about the computerization. The individual experiment
designed by each student has to be computerized and presented in a CD (and Email if needed)
for internal assessment. The printout of the program syntax OR major steps in computer
programming also need to submitted along with this assignment. (1 credit).

UNIT 3: Experiments Conduction: These select six experiments will then be conducted in the
laboratory. If the facilities permit, these experiments can be carried out using the computer
interface. (3 credits).

UNIT 4: Experimental Data Analysis and Report: The data obtained is analyzed by using
software packages (e.g. R) and reported in a typed report. The report also needs to be
submitted in a softcopy. (1 credit)
