PhD Programme in Mind, Brain and Reasoning

Learning Objectives

This PhD programme trains young researches who intend to study human cognition with an interdisciplinary approach, using theories and methods developed in philosophy, psychology, computer science, and cognitive neuroscience. Since innovative research in this area requires the integration of different competences, our courses will provide solid analytical and epistemological foundations for the development of theoretical reflection and experimental skills.

The students enrolled in the 36^th Cycle (2020-21) will have to obtain 12 credits chosen from the following courses:
1) Advanced topics in the Philosophy of Mind and Cognition (4 CFU)
2) Advanced topics in the Philosophy of Language and Metaphysics (4 CFU)
3) Advanced topics in Logic, Probability and Computation (4 CFU)
4) Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience (4 CFU)
5) English for Academic Communication (4 CFU)
6) Designing a research project: strategies and challenges (4 CFU)

Coordinator: Prof. Francesco Guala
