    Description

    Scientific meeting with presentations from researchers of Univ. Fribourg. Participants are required to submit a two-page summary of a presentation of their choice, detailing hypotheses, methods, results and brief critical discussion thereof.

    Training objectives

    The «Fribourg day of cognition» (SME.04002 and SME.07002) is an annual day event that brings together the active research world of cognitive neuroscience at the University of Fribourg (mainly the Departments of Medicine and Psychology). The aim is to publicise (in the form of an oral presentation or a poster) the research projects currently underway in this field at the University of Fribourg. Students are asked to select a specific presentation and to record the hypotheses tested, the approach chosen to test them and the main results in written form (about 2 pages preferably in English, otherwise in German or French). A short critical discussion forms the conclusion.

    Students enrolled in SME.04002 or SME.07002 are required to attend the whole day of lectures, including the poster presentation. For credit, they must also write a short report as indicated above. The deadline for submission of the report is the last day of October; please send it before this deadline by e-mail to melanie.kaeser@unifr.ch with the subject «Fribourg Cognition Day report»
