Master of Science in Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology
Explore brain function from neurons to behavior and develop treatments for cognitive disorders through cutting-edge neurophysiology.
Best for:Best for students with a background in neuroscience, biology, or psychology seeking to specialize in cognitive neuroscience and clinical neurophysiology with hands-on research experience.
Overview
This Master’s programme at the University of Amsterdam focuses on understanding how the brain mediates cognitive processes and how these insights can be applied to treat brain disorders and cognitive impairments. Students will study brain function across multiple levels—from single neurons to networks and behavior—while also investigating neurophysiological manifestations of disorders and potential therapeutic techniques. The curriculum integrates experimental and clinical approaches, emphasizing electroencephalography (EEG) and other neuroimaging methods. Ideal for those passionate about neuroscience, clinical applications, and interdisciplinary research.
What you'll do
- Conduct experimental research on brain function across multiple levels, from single neurons to behavior and cognition.
- Apply neurophysiological techniques, including electroencephalography (EEG), to study brain activity and its relation to cognitive processes.
- Investigate neurophysiological manifestations of brain disorders and explore potential therapeutic interventions.
- Develop and execute research projects that bridge basic neuroscience and clinical applications.
- Participate in seminars, workshops, and collaborative projects within the Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology research group.
- Present research findings in academic conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
