Course overview
This course is designed to introduce professionals from non-medical fields, including students and graduates of engineering and basic sciences, to the fundamentals of neuroscience and the applications of quantum science in this field. Participants will become familiar with fundamental topics in neuroscience, including the anatomical structure of different parts of the brain; how the brain functions in processes such as cognition and learning, sleep and wakefulness, and movement; the perception of the five senses (touch, hearing, taste, vision, and smell); and the quantum mechanisms involved in the visual and olfactory systems.

Frequently asked questions
Does this course require any specific scientific background?
No. The course begins with fundamental concepts and is suitable for a wide range of individuals interested in interdisciplinary sciences. Having a basic knowledge of quantum physics is an advantage, but there are no mandatory prerequisites.
Is Quantum Biology a scientifically established field?
Yes. Quantum biology is an active and interdisciplinary research field that investigates the role of quantum phenomena in certain biological processes. Some phenomena, such as energy transfer in photosynthesis and magnetoreception in birds, are supported by substantial experimental evidence, while other topics are still under investigation and development.
