Research Seminars in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience

This is our colloquium for Diploma and PhD students, staff members as well as students in our research-orientated small group courses. Apart from discussing research done within the department in Jena, this colloquium regularly features some "highlights" - talks by eminent scientists from other universities or institutions to present the current progress of their research. To see an abstract of each presentation, click on the talk title (where available).

Time: Monday 16 -18 (ct)
Place: Am Steiger 3/EG, SR 009
