The module provides advanced training in research methods as a suitable foundation for a PhD research degree in cognitive neuroscience.
1. Graduates will acquire advanced knowledge and understanding of a broad range of quantitative and qualitative empirical methods to address cognitive neuroscience issues.
2. Graduates will be able to select and apply as appropriate a range of quantitative and qualitative empirical methods to answer cognitive neuroscience questions.
3. Graduates will be able to understand, plan and design an empirical investigation in one or more research topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience
4. Graduates will be able to assemble and integrate evidence from a variety of sources, and evaluate a range of contemporary issues in cognitive neuroscience
5. Graduates will be able to report, interpret and discuss original research findings to expert and naïve audience.
6. Graduates will be able to reflect on their own performance and make constructive use of feedback. Work independently, and plan work effectively.
 

Previous knowledge on brain structure and function
 

Teaching is structured in 48 hours of frontal teaching, divided into 3-hour lessons, twice a week, based on the academic calendar. Frontal teaching consists of theoretical lessons.
The course also includes 16 hours of practical exercises aimed at consolidating the theoretical knowledge acquired.
Attendance is optional, however, given the complexity of the topics covered, attendance is strongly recommended.
 

The exam will be oral 

 

It is recommended to visit the e-learning page of the module regularly. The e-learning page will be used to upload lecture’s slides, additional readings and material, exam samples.
