The scope of the School.  In the recent years, interdisciplinary cognitive research gained a tremendous importance not only for solving enduring scientific problems but also for fostering progress in a number of applied domains such as human-computer interface technology, medicine, and education. The School has covered the main tendencies of this new development. Leading experts from around the world  gave state-of-the-art lectures on topics as diverse as cognitive interface technology, optimization of financial decisions, applied stress research, cognitive neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry. Theoretical presentations were accompanied by in-depth analysis of practical applications, including measurement and data analysis procedures. The renowned speakers were available for extensive discussion of individual projects of all participants to the School.
