Advanced Specialization Course - Cognitive Neuroscience Project Research
General Objectives of the Course
The aim of this specialization course is to provide students with training in real data and projects in the area of basic Cognitive Neuroscience (i.e., not applied/clinical) – training that currently does not exist at the University of Coimbra - namely the possibility of learning how to do research in cognitive neuroscience, and understanding the most innovative techniques. That is, this specialization course aims to provide its students with the necessary tools to do innovative research in Cognitive Neuroscience. This is an extremely important tool for those who want to follow a research career in Neuroscience – the most central area in the best ranked Psychology Departments in international rankings – and do a PhD in this area. The project will be done over data that is already collected.Admission Requirements
BA or Masters in Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, or similar research areas. We will also accept researchers whose CVs hold scientific, professional or scholarly proficiency that justify their attendance of this course.
Candidates should check the admission requirements available on this site, in addition to the information provided here.
Mode of Study
Face-to-faceTeaching / Evaluation language(s)
EnglishExamination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
We will follow a continuous assessment scheme, following the student’s participation in the course, and follows a binary classification (pass/fail).Learning Objectives and Intended Skills
Students should develop skills necessary to perform research in basic cognitive neuroscience (i.e., not applied/clinical) – an area that is multidisciplinary and requires a set of skills that are not fully offered in the current training offer. In particular, students should develop their scientific skill related with neuroimaging projects, as well as critical thinking and other skills to be learned during the execution of a project. The entire course is based on tutoring 1-to-1 or 1-to-few, and is focused on research in basic cognitive neuroscience.Course Coordinator(s)
