prof. dr. Jeroen Raaijmakers
Professor in Cognitive Psychology
'The field of Cognition is rapidly changing. New methods such as neuroimaging and computer modeling make it possible to start investigating crucial questions regarding the architecture that makes human (and animal) cognition possible. At the Cognitive Science Centre Amsterdam scientists with different backgrounds are working together to gain a better understanding of what is one of the most exciting puzzles in science today.'
'Our Master's programme in Brain and Cognitive Sciences is one of the oldest of its kind and has attracted many talented students from many nationalities. Our yearly Summer School, where top-level guest lecturers present their views on crucial issues in the field, has an excellent national and international reputation. The very laudatory comments made by these guest lecturers with respect to our students are perhaps the best testimony to the high quality of our students and their enthusiasm in gaining a better understanding in the puzzle of cognition.'
