The human brain is a hugely complex machine that is able to perform tasks that are vastly beyond current capabilities of artificial systems. Understanding the brain has always been a source of inspiration for developing artificially intelligent agents and has led to some of the defining moments in the history of AI. At the same time, theoretical insights from artificial intelligence provide new ways to understand and probe neural information processing in biological systems.Why study ?at??

• Our cognitive focus leads to a highly interdisciplinary AI programme where students gain skills and knowledge from a number of different areas such as mathematics, computer science, psychology and neuroscience combined with a core foundation of artificial intelligence.

• Together with the world-renowned?Donders Institute, the?Behavioural Science Institute?and various other leading research centres in Nijmegen, we train our students to become excellent researchers in AI.

• Master?s students are free to use the state-of-the-art facilities available on campus, like equipment for brain imaging as EEG, fMRI and MEG.

• Exceptional students who choose this specialisation have the opportunity to study for a?double degree?in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Neuroscience, in particular the specialisation in Brain Networks and Neuronal Communication. This will take three instead of two years.

• This specialisation offers plenty of room to create a programme that meets your own academic and professional interests.

• To help you decide on a research topic we organize a yearly AI Thesis Conference where graduating students present their work, companies will offer internship possibilities, and Donders PIs will present recent and potential research projects. Our Good AIfternoon seminar series often hosts company and NGO representatives giving a teaser of research possibilities. We are also open to any of you own ideas for research.

• Our AI students are a close-knit group; they have their own room in which they often get together to interact, debate and develop their ideas. Every student also receives personal guidance and supervision from a member of our expert staff.
