To extend students' knowledge in the field of cognitive and clinical neuroscience. To help students find a topic for Master's thesis.
Course Description
This is an advanced course on the current topics in cognitive neuroscience. After this course the students will have a firm understanding of the current state of affairs in the area of Cognitive Neuroscience, the current directions of the field and the contemporary methods that are used. Students will be able to present a summarized research article, critically evaluate it and discuss it with peers. Students will be prepared for choosing a topic for the future research project , internship or a thesis. Over the last two decennia, scientific research in the field of cognitive neuroscience has led to fundamental new insights in the relation between brain function and behavior. Research is ongoing, and in many cases, the latest insights have not yet traversed their ways down into the regular textbooks. This seminar offers students the possibility to discuss state of the art research. The latest insights into topics such as consciousness, default network, working memory, multisensory perception, and the mirror neuron system will be covered. The seminar will also cover important questions regarding legal and ethical aspects of cognitive and clinical neuroscience research.
