PSY4309 – Trends in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience 2
Course description
Course content
This course will cover current topics in cognitive psychology, cognitive and clinical neuroscience, as well as issues relevant to science in general (e.g., publication bias, reproducibility). Unlike other modules, topics presented here will reflect ongoing debates at the forefront of the international scientific community.
Students will participate in a seminar series that covers topics of more global scientific relevance. The seminars’ contents would cover e.g. the determination of relevant topics, provision of relevant literature, as well as the presentation of the topic and the moderation of an open discussion, whereby students are expected to take active participation in the planning, organization and discussions.
