Internship
As part of their internship program, students of the program "Cognitive Sciences and Technologies: from Neuron to Cognition" partake in research practice based at various research laboratories affiliated with the Department of Psychology, the Centre for Neuroeconomics and Cognitive Research and with other partner laboratories both at HSE and other scientific universities.
The duration of the internship program is one module during the first year, and one module during the second year.
During the first-year, students familiarise themselves with various methodologies integral to any research process, such as the preparation of research tools, developing research techniques, and report design. They are also introduced to the technology for conducting pilot studies and modern methods of brain neuroimaging. In addition, students also become adept in the ethical principles of research and the standards for publishing results. The program takes into account students’ individual requests regarding their dissertation research, and aims to provide a solid ground for basic dissertation research.
In the second-year, students work on the completion of their dissertation research. During practice they receive individual advice on the methods of statistical analysis of data and the interpretation of results, along with advice on writing dissertations.
