The course Current topics in neuroscience (SDN.00003) introduces the students to the neuroscience research projects currently pursued at the University of Fribourg and affiliated institutions. Individual group leaders will introduce their research topics and methodology in the domains of systems and cognitive neuroscience. Specific topics include sleep and mental health, attention and learning, and approaches in neurorehabilitation.

Students will explore how state-of-the-art computational methods such as machine learning are being integrated in the research process, and how to further the approach into real-world applications.
