• Social Neurocognition
  This course will provide students with a thorough background in the newly emergent field of social cognitive neuroscience. A broad range of social phenomena will be examined at multiple levels (1) the social level including experience and behaviors (2) the cognitive level which deals with information processing systems and (3) the neural level which deals with brain/neuronal bases of the first two levels.
• Human learning and memory
  This course will focus on behavioural, psychological, neurobiological, and neuropsychological processes underlying the acquisition of new knowledge and its subsequent consolidation and retrieval in human animals. Where possible, attempts will be made to integrate these levels in a multidisciplinary framework. Additionally, the application of learning and memory paradigms in clinical and cognitive research will be discussed.
• Neurobiology of Language
  This course will provide up-to-date insights into the neurobiological basis of language. Students will learn how state-of-the-art methods and approaches are currently being applied, and what are the next big questions for the field. They will also learn to reflect critically about the current questions and answers in the field.
• Hands-on Neuroscience
  Neuroscience techniques are undergoing a rapid development. These developments open up new possibilities for investigating the brain as a network at various levels. We will introduce a range of advanced techniques which currently are being applied in neuroscience in particular to study brain networks. We aim at covering both the basics of the techniques and how they are applied to address specific research questions.
