Kolloquium
Düsseldorf Seminar in Cognitive Neuroscience
Summer Term 2023
When? Tuesday, 4:30pm-5:30pm
Where? Room 23.03.01.61
Our weekly research talks are organised by us in cooperation with the teams of Tobias Kalenscher, Christian Bellebaum and Susanne Becker. The colloquium is a hybrid event: all talks will be given in‐person in room 23.03.01.61 (please note the change from last winter term), and they will be streamed online, too. We will not record the talks; they will not be made available after the session. You are welcome to join the in-person talks. If you want to join the virtual meeting, please send an email to
