Our Mission
What is the Cognitive Science Student Journal?
A platform for students to publish their work and achievements in various formats related to their studies, such as essays, posters, and videos.
What is the Mission of Our Student Journal?
We’re on a mission to create a low-stakes environment where students can dive into the exciting world of publishing and share their incredible work. We’re here to make sure that their creations don’t go to waste.
In that context, we also seek to promote freedom of science by fostering independence in research, promoting the principles of open science for greater accessibility and transparency, and facilitating effective science communication to bridge the gap between academia and the wider community.
Why Should You Send in Submissions?
Gain recognition and spotlight for your achievements, receive valuable experience in the publishing process, inspire others with your unique perspective and accomplishments and contribute to a student-driven platform that promotes student work.
What are the Values of Our Student Journal?
We’re a platform that shares research and fosters exchange. Our mission is to be a discrimination-free environment, to create room and a positive experience for everybody. “Our Commitment Against Discrimination” clearly states the values the Journal promotes and incorporates. We want to learn and improve, so if you notice an issue, please notify us.
What’s New at the Cognitive Science Student Journal?
Have you ever noticed that your best ideas come to you when you’re trying to fall asleep?
Explore the potential of those late-night inspirations with our newest publication: "Imagine Hacking Your Own Dreams”: Unleash the Power of Dreamscapes! (by Anna Mikheeva, Maureen Minnema, Mitra Gholami).

Did you ever hear about the high-tech ways we deal with Parkinson’s disease?
Besides using Levodopa (a drug that is used in the clinical treatment of Parkinsons`s disease), a common neurosurgical procedure is the Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy (DBS)?
In DBS, an implanted electrode zaps specific parts of the brain with high-frequency electrical impulses. These impulses can help mellow out some of that brain activity associated with Parkinson’s disease, easing the symptoms of it and making patients’ lives easier.
One thing to keep in mind is that these treatments only target the symptoms of Parkinson`s disease and not the disease itself.

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders. It is characterized by the degeneration of neurons in the dopaminergic system, leading to a wide range of physical, cognitive, and psychological symptoms.
Our latest publication explores the underlying mechanisms of Parkinson`s disease and what phase-amplitude coupling has to do with its underlying symptoms. Phase-amplitude coupling refers to a kind of synchronization between oscillations in certain brain areas. Parkinson’s patients show exceptionally high phase-amplitude coupling in the primary motor cortex, which is associated with the debilitating symptoms of the disease.
As described in the article, new research in humans and monkeys has shed more light on phase-amplitude coupling and its relationship to Parkinson`s disease. This research could be crucial in developing new treatment options.

Did you know that distributed learning is like a turbo boost for neural networks? 🤔
By distributing computation across multiple nodes, it speeds up training and makes better use of resources!
And guess what? There’s SyncSGD (Stochastic Gradient Descent) and AsyncSGD, the dynamic duo of distributed learning! SyncSGD guarantees convergence, and AsyncSGD adds some randomness to avoid getting stuck!
So, whether you’re on the Sync or Async team, one thing is for sure: distributed learning can shape the future of AI! ☄️
Learn more about it in the new article: Stochastic Gradient Descent - But Make it Parallel!
