  • Training

    Cognitive neuroscience originated from the interdisciplinary combination of fields as diverse as cognitive psychology, neurophysiology, linguistics and clinical neuropsychology, among others, and from technological advances in the field of neuroimaging and computing. This interdisciplinary combination aims to discover the brain mechanisms underlying psychological processes, especially those that support language. 

    The objective of our programs is to provide training to researchers in the field of cognitive neuroscience for the development of basic scientific knowledge and knowledge transfer to the fields of health and education.
