Seminar Series
CBSU students are able to take part in a wide range of seminars hosted at the Unit, often with internationally reknown speakers. Students are also encouraged to give lectures in their second and third years as part of their professional development.
Several different series of talks are given throughout the year, including
- First Year Theoretical Seminars programme
- Wednesday lunchtime lecture series
- Chaucer Club
- Statistical Parametric Mapping Course
- Statistcal methods for Cognitive Psychologists
Cambridge Graduate Programme in Cognitive and Brain Sciences - First Year Theoretical Seminars programme
CBSU students are full members of the Cambridge Graduate Programme in Cognitive and Brain Sciences, which has been jointly established by the Unit and the Departments of Experimental Psychology and Psychiatry. This consists of a weekly series of theoretical seminars presented by senior researchers from the CBSU and from the University. These are compulsory for CBSU students.
Lectures will be held on Mondays 4.15 - 5.45pm in the West Wing Seminar Room at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, 15 Chaucer Road (unless otherwise specified) during Michaelmas and Lent terms only.
Details of the Seminar Programme will be updated on this page and any changes in the programme, as well as any other information of interest, will be communicated via e-mail - it is therefore important that you e-mail the seminar administrator to ensure that your name is on the "Camgrads" mailing list.
The current programme is available here.
A full listing of CBU and all Cambridge University talks is also available.
