K18: Can analyze aspects of neuroscience related to neurological pathologies, their diagnosis and epidemiology. S1: Uses a variety of techniques to find, manage, integrate and critically evaluate available information for the development of professional activities in Neuroscience, especially in the digital sphere S4: Uses their ability to analyse and synthesise, as well as to apply the principles of the scientific method in the work environment, in order to provide innovative responses to the needs and demands of society in their area. S5: Appropriately uses the scientific and technical vocabulary of the different subfields within Neuroscience. S6: Has an understanding of the biological bases of pathologies of the nervous system, as well as the biological and socio-economic effects these pathologies have on the lives of people who suffer from them. S7: Comprehends the computational and experimental tools used for analysis and quantification of neuroscience data, and can appropriately apply these tools to significant problems in neuroscience. C1: Apply knowledge about the biological basis of Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders and their effects to the development of improved diagnostics and treatments. C3: Apply knowledge about technologies for the study of the Nervous System and the brain (Medical Imaging, brain-machine interfaces) to develop new systems for diagnosis and treatment, as well as and other applications within Neuroscience (Artificial Intelligence, Robotics) with the aims of improving the quality of life and furthering social progress. C5: Apply your neuroscience knowledge in a unifying and integrated fashion as part of a multidisciplinary team (pharmaceutical sector, health industry, diagnostic techniques, health information technologies, government agencies and regulatory bodies. C7: Apply the scientific and technical principles you acquired during your undergraduate training, together with your own natural learning capabilities, to better adapt to novel opportunities arising from scientific and technological development.
