    AD: Der „Fribourg day of cognition“ (ME.4002 und ME.7002) ist eine jährlich stattfindende Tagesveranstaltung, an der die aktive Forschungswelt der kognitiven Neurowissenschaften an der Universität Freiburg (hauptsächlich die Departemente für Medizin und Psychologie) zusammenkommt. Das Ziel besteht in der Bekanntmachung (in Form einer mündlichen Präsentation oder eines Posters) der in diesem Bereich derzeit laufenden Forschungsprojekte an der Universität Freiburg. Die Studierenden werden dazu aufgefordert, eine bestimmte Präsentation auszuwählen und die überprüften Hypothesen, die gewählte Herangehensweise zur Überprüfung sowie die wichtigsten Ergebnisse in schriftlichen Form (etwa 2 Seiten vorzugsweise in Englischer, sonst in Deutscher Sprache) festzuhalten. Eine kurze kritische Diskussion bildet den Abschluss.

    FR: Le « Fribourg day of cognition » (ME.4002 et ME.7002) est une journée annuelle de rencontre des chercheurs actifs en neurosciences cognitives à l’Université de Fribourg (principalement département de médecine et de psychologie). Le but est de faire connaître sous forme de présentations orale ou affichée (poster) les projets de recherche conduits dans ce domaine à l’Université de Fribourg. Il sera demandé à l’étudiant-e de choisir une présentation particulière et d’en exposer, sous forme écrite (2 pages environ de préférence en anglais, ou francais), les hypothèses testées, la méthodologie choisie pour les tester et de résumer les résultats principaux. Conclure sous la forme d’une brève discussion critique.

    EN: The « Fribourg day of cognition » (ME.4002 and ME.7002) is an annual meeting for researchers in cognitive neurosciences at the University of Fribourg (mainly students in medicine and psychology). The goal is to introduce research projects done in our university on this field by the mean of oral or poster presentation. To obtain ECTS credits, it will be ask the students to choose a particular presentation and to write a report (approximatively 2 pages in English or French if possible). This report should explain the hypotheses tested, the methodology chosen, a summary of the main results and concluded with a brief critical discussion.

    CALL FOR COMMUNICATION (ORAL AND POSTER)

    The next Fribourg Day of Cognition will be held the 2nd October 2013. Contrary to the previous meetings, the priority is given to Assistants, PhD Students, Post-doc who will have the opportunity to present their work either as a talk (10 min + 5 min questions) or as a poster with a short presentation (5 min).
