Cognitive Neuroscience is a relatively young field where neuroscience and psychology meet. Therefore, the Graduate School Neurosciences Amsterdam (ONWA), and the Graduate School for Experimental Psychology (EPOS) joined forces to present a course on this exciting new topic. Cognitive Neuroscience studies the relation between brain and mind. It tries to understand the cognitive capabilities of the mind, such as planning, reasoning and all the faculties of consciousness in terms of their underlying neural mechanisms, such as neural structure, physiology, and neuronal interactions.
