Vision neuroscience:
cortical processing of visual form and motion, visual allucinations, sensory and perceptual memory (perceptual priming, perceptual learning also applied to the recovery of visual and cognitive deficits), non-invasive modulation techniques of cortical excitability (transcranial electrical and magnetic stimulation).

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS):
Literature review on psychotherapic treatments ofpremenstrual syndrome and further experimental project with the participation of a group of skill training and biofeedback. Good knowledge of English and basic knowledge of how to conduct a literature review are requested.
