The primary focus in the curriculum of the master specialisation Applied Neuroscience in Human Development is on how knowledge about brain functioning and stress regulation can contribute to educational practice, clinical work, family interventions, and – conversely – how these applications can contribute to optimal neurocognitive and biological functioning.

As a graduate you will have acquired knowledge and skills in:
*The basics of the functional anatomy of the brain, the development of the brain and nervous system, and genetic and environmental factors influencing cognitive development and functioning;
*Methods and instruments for measuring and studying the quality of the (central) nervous system, such as EEG, brain imaging techniques such as MRI, parameters of the arousal system such as heart rate and skin conductance, eye tracking, genetics and the hormone system;
*Possibilities for prevention and intervention aimed at optimizing brain functioning and the regulation of thought, emotions and behaviour.

“The mystery of how the brain works!”

“I found it difficult to decide on a specific direction while I was doing my bachelor's, although I was more interested in a smaller specialisation, where you can stand out more on the job market. Applied Neuroscience is relatively new and it's only available in Leiden. That made it a good choice for me.

The Master's is made up of four modules, including a lot of neurology-related subjects, such as Learning, cognition & the brain, where you learn which areas of the brain are involved in learning processes...
Added to that, I started my internship early, working on an ERP research project. ERP means Event-Related Potential; it's a technique for measuring the difference in brain activity before and after different stimuli. In our study, students were asked to carry out a computer activity, and were given positive or negative feedback with a colour and a smiley The study showed that students' upbringing had an effect on how they responded to the stimuli. I used data from this study for my master's thesis on psychological control.

After graduating I wanted to carry on and do a PhD, but unfortunately I just missed being accepted. My current work isn't really related to my study, although I do enjoy it. But I would like to do more research at some point in the future.
There's such a lot still to be discovered about how the brain works, and researchers are making new discoveries all the time. Neuroscientific research can help us understand certain 'invisible' illnesses, which makes it highly socially relevant. This is a distinctive master's where you really have the chance to get involved in this kind of research. You're not so much concerned with how behaviour manifests itself, but with the neural basis for the behaviour. If you find that interesting, I can thoroughly recommend this specialisation to you.”

“I study how successful reading takes place, as well as where things go wrong. We are using fMRI and EEG, but also a relatively new technique, magnetoencephalography.”

“What goes wrong in the brain of a struggling reader? Despite considerable efforts by researchers, educators and policy-makers, many children struggle to learn to read...
Using behavioural and imaging techniques, I investigate the cognitive processes and the areas of the brain that are involved and connected when we are reading texts. We are using fMRI and EEG, but also a relatively new technique, magnetoencephalography (MEG).This measures the magnetic activity of the brain. One advantage of MEG is that it has very good temporal as well as good spatial resolution. Using this technique we can measure by the millisecond changes in the patterns of brain activity during reading.

Ideally, in the near future the results may inform diagnosis and intervention. Neurological investigation of learning-related activities is most developed in research into the specific disorder of dyslexia, but we will investigate what goes wrong in the brains of a much larger population, namely that of readers who struggle with comprehension.”
