Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research)

The acquisition and comprehension of language are based on extremely complex cognitive processes which are not yet entirely understood. It’s these processes, and their biological underpinnings, that form psycholinguistics’ field of study and are the basis of the Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research)program atRadboud University.

All tracks in the Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research) program at Radboud University have a common basis. In the first year you'll become acquainted with the most important theories, models, techniques and analysis methods given in Cognitive Neuroscience

Something for you?

• Linguistics, cognitive psychology and neuroscience play a significant role in psycholinguistics. These sciences feature prominently in Nijmegen. Hundreds of scientists from various faculties and top institutes have joined forces on the Radboud University campus to unravel the workings of the human brain. They thereby work together very closely, exchange expertise and share state-of-the-art research equipment.

• This track also works closely with Radboud University’s Centre for Language Studies (CLS) and the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI), also housed on the Radboud University campus.

This program is accredited by the NVAO (the Dutch-Flemish accreditation organisation).

Courses include:

• Trends in Cognitive Neuroscience

• Neuroimaging

• Neurophilosophy

• Lab Rotations

• Basic Mathematics for Cognitive Neuroscience

• Mathematics for Neuroimaging
• Words in Speaking and Listening

• Using and Acquiring Multiple Languages
• First language Acquisition
