Aims and scope | Format

Cognitive neuroscience is an explosively developing scientific field that enables researchers from different areas to combine their theoretical frameworks, methodologies, empirical results and insights in a joint effort to answer the question, how the mind emerges from the working of the brain.

One of the core questions in cognitive neuroscience is how one retains and manipulates in one’s mind the information relevant to the task at hand - the ability known as working memory. That will be the subject of the Summer School

Aims of the Summer School are to:

• present basic disciplines that form cognitive neuroscience
• present the value and potential of multidisciplinary research in cognitive neuroscience
• present state of the art research and theories of working memory in the fields of cognitive neuroscience
• promote communication and cooperation among students from various backgrounds
• facilitate communication between students and established researchers in the field
• encourage appropriate problem formulating and solving through scientific research
