Course Description

Social neuroscience combines approaches from cognitive neuroscience and social psychology and highlights a multilevel approach to emotional, social, and cognitive phenomena, making it one of the newer, more promising fields of cognitive neuroscience.

Design medication recommendations on the basis of neuromarkers
Identify ADHD subtypes on the basis of neuromarkers
Design treatment plans on the basis of the results obtained
