Umtrunk

The Center for Mind, Brain and Cognitive Evolution is a cooperative platform initiated by a number 
of scientists and scholars in the fields of philosophy, psychiatry, psychology, neurosciences and 
neuroinformatics located at the Ruhr-University Bochum. The main focus of the center is to provide
an *interdisciplinary platform for neurophilosophical and neurocognitive studies* and to develop 
new perspectives on possible interfaces between those disciplines. This platform will also be the 
support for the creation of a new and interdisciplinary Master program "Mind and Brain" taught in 
English.
