One of the greatest challenges in science is to explain the human mind. Thanks to the advent of revolutionary brain research methods, great progress in behavioural research techniques and the incredible inventiveness of many researchers, cognitive and neural sciences are finding ways to better approach this problem. The master's programme in Brain and Cognition will guide students through the latest and most exciting findings brought about by the interaction between cognitive research and brain research, furnishing them with the theoretical and practical means to actively participate in this exciting enterprise.

The core of the master's programme is composed of the research groups at UPF's Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC). These groups are directed by renowned scientists in areas such as computational neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, vision, multisensory perception, human development and comparative cognition. Students will thus be exposed to the ongoing research projects at the CBC and will be integrated into one of its main research lines, where they will conduct original research for their final project....

There are many professionals needed to address neurological injuries (neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, clinical psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists, neurologists, rehabilitative doctors, etc.), however it is impossible to face a therapeutic approach without a holistic approach focused on the person and of a transdisciplinary nature such as the one offered by the Master in Neurorehabilitation of ISEP, pioneer for its interdisciplinary nature....

Neuroeducation has transformed the paradigm of training by incorporating and promoting the interdisciplinary integration of educational sciences with those that study the functioning of the brain. Thus, unprecedented progress has been made in the learning process, since they contribute to the enhancement of people's neurocognitive and emotional capacities.

The presence of cognitive deficits in different neurological pathologies in childhood such as head injuries, tumors, etc., has made proliferate in recent times different formations in the neuropsychological field to try to alleviate these pathologies through the rehabilitation of functions, as well as the great variability of learning difficulties that we find in today's school. Likewise, there is currently a significant increase in clinical consultations of parents who take their children with clinical and cognitive symptoms, in some cases, and with the absence of it, in others, which disables them for optimal educational development....
