Cognitive Science (in English)
Short presentation of the programme:
The program prepares specialists in the interdisciplinary field of Cognitive Science. It covers courses in cognitive psychology and cognitive modeling, information processing in the brain, constructive memory, psychophysiological research and cognitive processes, information processing in the visual system and higher visual functions, social cognition, spatial cognition, and consciousness. Training courses include a Summer School in Cognitive Science, various seminars including a seminar on memory and analogy, workshops in psychophysiological research and eye tracking, individual and group research courses, and experimental work. All courses in the program are taught in English. Two courses are compulsory: COGM101 Foundations of Cognitive Science and COGM001 Experimental Methods.
