Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). Special rules apply for research year students enrolled at Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list. Course title HUMAN BRAIN STIMULATION Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Acquire detailed knowledge about the biophysical basis of brain stimulation 2. Understand the basic principles behind the major brain stimulation techniques 3. Compare the different scientific and therapeutic uses of the major brain stimulation techniques and their shortcomings 4. Learn how brain stimulation is integrated with other neuroscientific techniques Content This PhD course provides a systematic and comprehensive overview over current brain stimulation techniques, highlighting their neuroscientific and therapeutic potential. The students will be introduced to the various stimulation techniques (e.g. optogenetics, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial current stimulation, deep-brain stimulation) and will gain in-depth knowledge about the basic biophysical mechanisms and the most commonly used neuroscientific and therapeutic stimulation techniques. Theoretical lectures will be complemented by practical sessions and demonstrations. The course will consist of introductory lectures in the morning (three to four lectures per day), followed by a student presentation of the lecture highlights and supervised practical exercises and demonstrations based on different brain stimulation techniques in the afternoon. Participants PhD students (medicine, neuroscience, psychology, engineering, humanities) interested in neuroscience and brain related diseases. No specific qualifications required. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Neuroscience Psychiatry Medical and Molecular Imaging Language English Form Lectures and group work in the morning and workshops with practical exercises in small groups in the afternoon.
