APPLIED COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE

Postgraduate Award MQF-EQF Level 7

APPLIED COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE

The course aims to provide students with an understanding of cognitive neuroscience as applied to individuals, groups and organizations performance. In addition, the course will provide students with knowledge, understanding and correct use of cognitive neuroscience assessment and intervention tools in sport.


The course aims to present cognitive neurosciences in their clinical application dimension (e.g. Sport Neuropsychology), to well-being (e.g. Ergonomics and Design in sport) and to human performance (e.g. Neuroenhancement, Education, Neuroethics). Finally, possible emerging and 'frontier' areas in the near future will be addressed (e.g., intelligent interfaces).


Finally, the student will have a specialised knowledge of tools for detecting neurocognitive parameters in applied contexts.
