First Graduation in Neuroscience
About three years ago, Professor Valentina di Felice, who is the chairperson of this course, together with myself and many other professors who are now here, have started meeting and brainstorming about a novel international master's degree program in neuroscience. This MS has been structured to provide the scientific basis for a hybrid neuroscientist. A neuroscientist with a solid neurobiological foundation but ready to challenge him/herself with neuroprosthetics, neuropharmacology and neurobiotechnology. Today we were very honored to award our first student, Dr. Talya Saleem, with the Master degree in Neuroscience. She discussed a thesis on the intriguing topic of human brain behavior within immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.
