There's a long history of really great MIT intro (or relatively so) psychology/brain science courses. Back in the 1970s, the intro course was a hugely popular lecture taught by the head of the department.
Yes, Hans-Lukas Teuber. https://wikipedia.org/en/Hans-Lukas_Teuber What impressed me so much about the course was it was completely focused on what, scientifically (via measurement), was known about the brain. I loved that it wasn't a 'fluff' psychology class at all.
MIT was rather unusual at the time for taking such a physiology and brain science approach to psychology. The prevalent school of thought, notably at Harvard with Skinner, was to treat the brain more or less as a black box and focus on the inputs and outputs.
Teuber joked at the time that his intro course didn't count toward the humanities distribution requirement because it wasn't irrational enough.
