Düsseldorf Seminar in Cognitive Neuroscience
Summer Term 2023
When? Every Tuesday, 4:30pm-5:30pm
Where? 23.03.01.61
Our weekly research talks are organised by us in cooperation with the teams of Gerhard Jocham, 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 online streamed, 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
