Description
The research internship is an ‘on-the-job’ training in doing research, with a focus on getting experienced with using neuroscience methods and techniques (cognitive paradigms, EEG/ERP, heart rate, skin conductance, neuroendocrine measures, eyetracking) for data collection and data analysis.
Enrolling in a research project:
The Research Internship is directly linked to the ongoing research projects within one of the lines of research of the Institute for Education and Child Studies. Students will complete the Master’s project and the Research Internship within the same research project. The Research Internship involves a supervisor (the researcher, who supervises the practical part of the internship) and a mentor (who organizes group meetings on theoretical internship topics) . The coordinator announces which research projects are available for participation and students can register for one of these in November. For the Research Internship it is highly encouraged to start with the ANECS master in September considering the relevant courses that precede the Research Internship that starts in November (block II).
