CoreaimsoftheMaster’sProgramNeuro-cognitivePsychology

1. Studentsontheresearch-orientedMaster’sProgramNeuro-cognitivePsychology(NCPprogram)willacquirein-depthknowledgeandhands-oncompetenciesregardingcurrent,state-of-the-artconceptual/theoreticalandmethodologicalapproachesinNeuro-CognitivePsychology.

2. GivenNeuro-cognitivePsychologyisafieldattheintersectionofExperimentalPsycholo-gyandthe

CognitiveNeurosciences,studentswill(learnto)approachthecontentsfromaninherentlyinterdisciplinaryperspective,ensuredbyteachingcontributionsfromPsy-chology(Experimental,Neuro-andBiological,Developmental,ClinicalPsychology),theNeurosciences(Neurobiology,Neurology,Psychiatry,ComputationalNeuroscience),andrelateddisciplines(Neuro-/Philosophy).

3. Asaresearch-orientedprogram,trainingontheNCPprogramisultimatelydesignedtoequip

graduatesforundertakingaPhDstudiesand/or(eventually)acareerinacademicbasicortranslational/appliedscience(includinginindustry).

4. Tothisend,studentswilldevelopthemethodologicalcompetenciestoindependentlyconduct

advanced-levelempiricalresearchinthefieldofneuro-cognitivepsychology,inparticular:tocriticallyanalyzeandevaluateextant(published)researchfindings,theo-riesandmethods;toconceptuallydevelop(theoreticallygrounded)researchquestion;,totranslatethequestionsintotestableexperiments(includingchoiceofappropriatemethodologicalapproaches);tosetup/realizeandconducttheexperiments;toanalyzethedata;tointerprettheresultsanddeveloptheirimplicationsfortheory;toconsiderthelimitationsofthefindings;andtocommunicatetheresearch(inoralpresentationsandpublishedform)tothewiderscientificcommunity,meetinginternationalacademicstandards.

5. Coremethodologicalcompetencies(acquiredthroughacombinationoflec-tures/tutorials,

seminars/debate–acquired,andpracticalhands-onwork)includebe-havioralpsychophysics,mentalchronometry,andneuropsychologicalpatientassess-ment,andneuroscientificelectroencephalography,functionalmagneticresonanceto-mography,andtranscranialmagneticstimulation;statisticaldataanalysisandneuro-computationalmodeling.

6. Whilethefocusisonbasic-level,fundamentalneuro-cognitiveresearch,studentswillalsodevelopa

sensefortranslationalresearchinareaswhereNeuro-CognitivePsychol-ogycanmakeinnovativecontributions,suchasinneuropsychological/-psychiatricdiag-nosticsandtreatment.

7. Inadditiontotheacquisitionofthescientificcorequalificationsoutlinedabove,studentswill

becomefamiliarwiththeethicalissuesinvolvedinresearchwithhumanpartici-pants(includingpatientpopulations),‘goodscientificpractice’(including‘openscience’),andcommunicatingsciencetothegeneralpublic(allqualificationsrequiredfordevelop-ingscientificprojectproposalsandapplyingforPhDstipends/positions,projectfunding,etc.).

8. Alongsidediscipline-specificknowledgeandcompetencies,studentswilldevelopnet-workingskills

(e.g.,bybeingprovidedwithopportunitiesfornetworkingwithinter-/na-tionalpartnerscientists/laboratories)aswellasothertransferableskills(scientificcommunication,teamwork,leadership).
