Leerdoelen	After having successfully completed this course, students are able to: - effectively search, interpret and summarize scientific literature in the rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of cognitive neuroscience; - critically evaluate and discuss new trends in this field, particularly with regard to possible applications; - communicate about specific studies in this field by giving a structured presentation and by writing an individual paper; - work and cooperate successfully with others to find, interpret and present relevant scientific literature.
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.
