Cognitive Neuroscience studies the cognitive and neural basis of mental processes such as perception, action, language, attention and memory. This relatively young discipline seeks to unravel the workings of the human brain. The research Master’s programme offers four tracks that coincide with the research themes of the Donders Institute.
- Language and Communication
- Perception, Action and Decision-making
- Development and lifelong plasticity
Neural Computing and Neurotechnology
