About CoSAN
CoSAN is a 3 year multi-centre Ph.D. programme that aims to:
- Investigate, within a traslational framework, the neural correlates of cognitive, social and affective functions and the neuroplastic mechanisms underpinning potential intervention approaches.
- Provide methodological knowledge to develop theoretically sound and cogent experimental designs and paradigms.
- Investigate the combination of behavioural and noninvasive brain stimulation interventions to improve the quality of life of individuals with acquired and congenital neurological conditions that affect social interaction.
- Develop expertise in at least one state-of-the-art experimental technique among those available to the CoSAN laboratories.
- Train Ph.D. students to be future independent researchers by supporting their proactive role from writing scientific articles to grant hunting and grant writing.
- Encourage inquisitive, creative and critical thinking through group interaction and cooperation.
- Reinforce the interaction between CoSAN partner laboratories by sharing knowledge and expertise and through researchers' mobility. In particular, Ph.D. students will carry out their research projects at La Sapienza University of Rome and at another university within the CoSAN network
