Introduces advanced statistical techniques important for analyzing data rising in biomedical research, including physiology. StatistIcal reasoning will be emphasized through problem solving and applications using statistical software packages. Restricted to Integrative Physiology graduate students only. Prereq., IPHY 2800. Prerequisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY) graduate students only.

Promotes understanding of the rhetorical goals, structure, design, and language for effective scientific texts, emphasizing research reports and grant proposals. Supports students in executing advanced cognitive processes in planning, drafting, and revising. Involves instructor-guided procedural facilitation and peer-review workshops based on students' current writing projects in courses and laboratory research. Prereq., basic proficiency in English. Restricted to graduate students.

Restricted to Integrative Physiology graduate students only. May be repeated up to 7 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY) graduate students only.

Presents special topics in integrative physiology. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Focuses on the cellular control of cardiac and smooth muscle contraction, at rest and in response to acute and chronic exercise. Addresses certain pathophysiological and physiological adaptive mechanisms. Prereq., IPHY 4650.

Critiques and discusses both classic and cutting edge scientific research in the area of terrestrial locomotion. Recommended prereqs., IPHY 4540, 4650 and graduate standing in IPHY or EBIO. Prerequisites: Restricted to Integrative Physiology (IPHY) or Integrative Physiology Concurrent Degree (C-IPHY) graduate students only.

Focuses on the scientific process including formulating and testing hypotheses in studies of locomotion. Students analyze primary articles to determine whether the studies tested hypotheses and to generate new hypotheses that logically follow from previous studies.

This introduction to Matlab programming will teach the skills needed to write and modify programs for data acquisition and analysis, statistics, plotting, and simulation. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.
