This course provides an overview of key researchers in cognitive neuroscience, especially those in positive psychology, and their most central theories, models, and research in the format of a scientific conference. Students choose one central figure in positive psychology or psychological coaching and write a review of their most important research findings and theories. Course seminars simulate a scientific conference in which students give a brief oral conference presentation followed by open debate and discussion. As such, you get to practice how to make a good scientific presentation in English and an opportunity to get personal feedback from the teachers and other students.
