Description

Writing Papers in Psychology and Neuroscience: AI-AssistedThis course is designed to help you master the art of writing research papers in psychology and neuroscience, with a special focus on structure, clarity, and impactful content. Are you a student, researcher, or academic in the field? If that is the case, this course covers important writing techniques while also introducing AI tools to support your writing process.You’ll learn step-by-step how to write each section of a scientific manuscript, from introduction to discussion, and how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Jenni, and Elicit to brainstorm ideas, streamline literature reviews, and organize citations. The AI tools are presented in simple examples, providing you with quick, practical ways to enhance your writing without overshadowing the key focus—your expertise and critical thinking.By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with both traditional writing skills and modern AI-assisted methods to improve the quality and efficiency of your research papers. Join NeuraSkills to take your scientific writing to the next level!Important Reminder on AI Use and Privacy Before we begin, I want to make something clear: AI tools can help with writing, but they should never be used to compromise anyone's privacy. Always protect personal data. Also, don't rely on AI-generated text for your manuscript. These tools are meant to support you, not replace your own ideas. For example, when we use Jenni AI in this course, it’s just to show how it can assist—not do the work for you. Always rely on your style and expertise.
