Sensing Time: How we process time across real and extended realities

 Are you curious about how humans perceive and process time? 

Join our Sensing Time Summer School and immerse yourself in one of the mind's most fascinating mysteries. Durante this exciting week, you will explore the perception of time through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience and new technologies. From electroencephalography (EEG) to virtual reality, from recording and analyzing eye movements to non-invasive brain stimulation, you will receive hands-on training with advanced tools used in scientific research. You will learn directly from top international speakers and broaden your academic horizons. Daily workshops, expert lectures and practical examples will enhance your theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

By participating in this Summer School, you will also develop interdisciplinary skills that go far beyond the laboratory: collaboration, critical thinking and intercultural teamwork. This programme is perfect for graduate and PhD students at the beginning of their careers who wish to expand their skills and knowledge in the field of cognitive science.

Build a global network as you unlock the secrets of how we perceive time. Don't just study it, live it!
