Prospective research and innovation

The spectacular advances made in cognitive and neural sciences during the last decades have led to more and more applications in medicine and technologies used in everyday life. A wide range of applications are open to students in fundamental, applied and biomedical research, and in the different fields of application of neuro-inspired systems (e.g. neurostimulation, deep learning, bio-inspired sensors, autonomous systems, developmental robotics and neuromorphic electronics, etc.). Students need to develop an informed and critical eye to determine the most relevant advances in the future and set priorities. In addition, as the future players in the field, they also need to develop an ethical perspective on these questions. These different topics are addressed by researchers, physicians and industrial partners, working together in applied research or innovation projects.
