Concluding words
The Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance is a group of DFG-funded research projects focused on neuroscience and memory research. A mentee, and five scientists – at all career stages – speak about their path to research on synapses and neural circuits, philosophy of language and cognition, modeling of episodic memory, and clinical studies of cognitive processes.
Talks in English, and a certificate of attendance available after the event.
