Students


The scientific committee, faculty, staff and organizers of the first Latin American School for Education, Cognitive and Neural Sciences would like to express their most sincere gratitude to the students from fifty-two different countries who attended the LA School in San Pedro de Atacama.
The LA School saw the emergence of dozens of research projects that you can read by clicking here: LASchool_ResearchProjects. We thank students and faculty very much for their commitment, dedication, enthusiasm, scientific rigorousness and energy that allowed the birth of projects exploring how cognitive and neural sciences can contribute to education.
Our sincere best wishes for sucess in your research!
