| Specific entry requirements | 180 hp in medicine, biomedicine, biology, psychology, or cognitive science, or master degree in medical imaging engineering |
| Learning outcomes | After the course the student must be able to: (1) account for current concepts and key principles of cognitive neuroscience; (2) show an understanding of the inter-disiplinary nature of cognitive neuroscience with its roots in both psychology and neuroscience; (3) discuss and critically evaluate scientific articles in the field; (4) To show basic knowledge about the strengths and weakness of the different state-of-the-art methods used in cognitive neuroscience. |
| Contents of the course | (1) Series of lectures informing about the state of art knowledge about: (i) Perception and sensory mechanisms; (ii) action planning and execution (iii); (iv) sex differences in the brain; (v) higher cognitive functions including working memory and creativity; (vi) memory; and (vii) cognitive effects of aging (2) Seminars where the students will critically discuss key published papers, and group presentations where they will present their analyses and conclusions for the whole group. |
| Type of teaching | Lectures, seminars, and group presentations. |
| Examination | The oral presentation and group discussions during the last day¿s seminar count as examination. We will assess individual students¿ ability to discuss and reason about current issues and problems in cognitive neuroscience. |
| Compulsory elements | The group seminar is obligatory. In addition to that, the students are assumed to take part in the lectures. The student will be able to compensate missing attendance by submitting written reports on the missed material later. |
| Number of students | 5 - 14 |
| Selection of students | The primary selection criteria are 1) the usefulness of the course for the graduate student in his/her graduate work, and 2) the motivation given in the application to the course. |
