Omschrijving | This course focuses on a selection of current perspectives and issues in the field of cognitive neuroscience. While addressing these, the application of neuro-cognitive knowledge and methods to 'every-day' situations (e.g., driving a car or deciding on a purchase) is of particular interest. Examples of topics that have been discussed in the course are the usefulness of physiological measures in applied settings, and the influence of emotion on cognition and decision making. |

Opmerkingen | Each of the lectures deals with a pre-selected topic, and is organized by the students themselves, in small groups. After the formal presentation, a content-driven discussion follows. This course format requires active participation of all students, and to that end students are asked to read the relevant literature prior to the start of each lecture. |
