Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The objective of this course is to bridge the gap between neuroscience and clinical psychology, by understanding potential neurobiological factors underlying different mental clinical disorders. The course will cover the cognitive and neurophysiological basis of different clinical disorders, as well as knowledge of the most used neuroscientific and behavioural research methods.
Students will be trained to understand common clinical disorders from a broad perspective and will be able to not only understand the neurobiological and behavioural level of these disorders, but also to understand how these two are related and how one might explain or influence the other.
The course consists of a series of lectures and practical sessions that cover a specific topic (e.g. empathy, autism, social reward) from a neuroscience perspective. Each lecture will be accompanied by practical sessions in which the students will have the chance to practice in visualizing, processing and analyzing neuroimaging data.

After attending this course, students will:
-be able to efficiently read and evaluate current literature using neuro-cognitive methods to understand clinical phenomena
-have an overview of the available clinical neuroscience and neuro-cognitive methods
-be able to identify open research questions in the domain of the course
