Applied Neurosciences in Sports & Exercise

About

The summerschool program consists of different modules, providing an overview of important approaches, problems and future research directions in the field and summarizing relevant knowledge as well as current trends and major issues of
relevant neurophysiological methods. Corresponding workshops and sessions offer a problem-solving insight, leading
to transfer of knowledge and include discussions and expert supervision. At the end of the week you get the opportunity
to be creative in developing and presenting your own project idea and receive feedback from experts and other students. In addition to the scientific curriculum we offer an organized social program including sports activities, challenges, dinnertalk and more ...

Course aim

The summerschool aims to approach neuroscientific aspects of sports and exercise. Contents include “therapy of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases or injuries” as well as “training and performance development”. All contents are conveyed and discussed with strong emphasis to application and practical relevance. Furthermore you obtain a good insight into our international Master’s degree Program „Applied Neurosciences in Sports & Exercise“ (ANSE). In different workshops participants have the opportunity to work with neurophysiologic methods in sports settings (EEG, ANS diagnostics, visual and vestibular tests).
