Central Topics in Cognitive Neuroscience

About this programme

The course gives a brief introduction to the structure and function of the brain, its processing of sensory information, and perceptual processes. The main emphasis of the course is on central concepts, theories, and empirical findings concerning attention, working memory, executive functions, long-term memory, and emotions. The course also addresses the relationship between neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Writing a short essay, for which the topic is chosen in consultation with the teacher, is also a part of the course.
