This colloquium provides a structured academic forum for students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career investigators affiliated with the Predictive Brain Lab to present, discuss, and critically engage with ongoing scientific work in the field of cognitive neuroscience and psychology. The course is designed to support Bachelor, Master, PhD students, and researchers as they develop and refine their research projects, including thesis work and scientific publications. Participants will present their empirical or theoretical research for peer and faculty feedback, discuss foundational and cutting-edge scientific literature related to predictive processing, brain function, and cognition, develop scientific communication skills through structured presentations and critical dialogue, and engage in interdisciplinary discussions to integrate psychological theory with neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and computational modelling. The colloquium also features presentations by national and internationally renowned guest speakers, offering participants exposure to a broad range of perspectives and expertise. This course fosters a collaborative and intellectually rigorous environment that supports the development of high-quality scientific research. Attendance and active participation are required, and all participants are expected to contribute to the academic discourse, whether by presenting their own work or by constructively engaging with the work of others.
