About this course
The course consists of theoretical sessions and practical work related to decision-making, memory formation and emotion. It will also include the neuroanatomy related to these functions using both MRI and human brains. The participants will be actively involved in group work dealing with practical and theoretical aspects of cognitive neuroanatomy.
Selection will be based on:
1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant's doctoral project (according to written motivation),
2) start date of doctoral studies (priority given to earlier start date)
Learning outcomes
After the course the students should be able:
- to describe the field of cognitive neuroscience to explain how the brain can make decisions
- form lasting memories and compute emotional states
- to show where in the brain and by which structures these different functions are controlled
