Sensory Neuroscience

Four members of the CircleU alliance (University of Pisa, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, UCLouvain, Aarhus University) are excited to announce the first European Summer School in Sensory Neuroscience (Master’s degree level) within the alliance.
Renowned specialists will guide a limited number of students (maximum 30) through the complexity of the human mind and brain, tackled through the study of sensation and perception.
The Summer School will use the Blended Intensive Program format, with a 5-days online component and a 5-days in-person component.
The Summer School is fully funded, with no admittance fee, accommodation covered, and travel grants available.

Course leader

Prof. Paola Binda

Target group

Ideal candidates are enrolled in a Master’s level degree in the area of neuroscience or related fields.
Students must be fluent in English, as all activities will be in English.
Maximum attendance: 30 students.

Course aim

Remote learning will focus on fundamental concepts of (multi)sensory-motor integration and on the main tools of the trade: neuroimaging, neurophysiology, psychophysics.
In-presence meetings will deliver specialistic lectures from leading scientists and hands-on laboratory experience - including a site visit to the ultra-high field Magnetic Resonance center Imago7.
Successful completion of the program will give students an overview of the current neuroscientific research in sensory and cognitive neuroscience.
