The School provides students and members of other scientific institutions in the Trieste area with specialised Mathematics and Physics libraries, a parallel Calculus Centre, several cellular-neurobiology laboratories, a confocal microscopy and an electronic microscopy laboratory and multiple cognitive-neuroscience laboratories.

From 2001 to 2004, the director was the Italian geneticist Edoardo Boncinelli, who fostered the development of the existing research areas. The mind/brain system is surely one of the most complex natural objects. Its behaviour is determined by a wide array of dynamics, ranging enormously in quality (neurons vs. mental representations), time span (spikes happen in milliseconds, learning can take years), and spatial resolution (some basic perceptual features are coded in single neurons, syntax is processed by a wide network of areas spanning nearly the whole brain). Raffaella Rumiati is Full Professor of Cognitive Nerusocience at SISSA. Director of the iNSuLa Laboratory at SISSA. In the school premises there is also a canteen, a kindergarten and a gym, open to SISSA staff and students. PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience - SISSA - Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati | Via Bonomea, 265 - 34136 Trieste ITALY. The brain is an incredibly complex system, and there are many approaches to its investigation. Up to 2010 SISSA administrative offices and all research sectors were located near the Miramare Park, about 10 kilometres from the city of Trieste. The Cognitive Neuroscience group at SISSA is a thriving attempt at finding the best balance between these opposite risks -- systems neuroscience and cognitive science, single neurons and large populations dynamics, the mind and the brain: all together in the same place, cross-fertilizing each other. Under the lead of the PI, Davide Crepaldi, we investigate reading, language and learning in the human mind and brain, using an array of methods that includes chronometric experiments, eye tracking, electrophysiology, computational modelling, fMRI and MEG. Cognitive Neuroscience at SISSA studies how human and animal brains generate streams of perception and organize them into thoughts and actions, with the ultimate goal of improving our understanding of the human mind and how it is grounded in the brain. In the school garden there is an open air theatre, used for shows, conferences and activities that aim to promote science to a wider public. Previous faculty includes Antonino Vallesi, now Associate Professor at the University of Padua; Giorgia Silani, now at the University of Vienna; Giosué Baggio, now Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology; and Chris Mathys, now Associate Professor at Aarhus University. Under his leadership, SISSA expanded its teaching and research activity towards the field of neuroscience, and instituted a new interdisciplinary laboratory aiming at connecting humanities and scientific studies.

And of course, the name of SISSA as a cognitive neuroscience place was established in the world through the invaluable contributions of Tim Shallice and Jacques Mehler, who have retired. Although the city of Trieste itself did not suffer any damage, physicist Paolo Budinich asked and obtained from the Italian government to include in the interventions the institution of a new, post-graduate teaching and research institute, modeled on the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. The objectives of the lab are to explore food processing and social information processing by using an integrative approach that brings together neurological, psychological and physiological models of the human brain within neuroscience.

Miramare park still hosts the ICTP (International Center for Theoretical Physics) and the Department of Theoretical Physics[15] of the University of Trieste. Other directors were appointed in the following years, which saw the strengthening of SISSA collaboration with other Italian and European universities in offering master's degree programs in the three areas of the School (mathematics, physics and neuroscience). 1) Clicking on lecturer's names opens the lecturer's DSV site page.

Clearly, taking up all these different dynamics at the same time would be a hopeless endeavour.

SISSA houses the following research groups: In addition, there is the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Natural and Humanistic Sciences (now LISNU - Laboratorio Interdisciplinare Scienze Naturali e Umanistiche),[13] which is endowed with the task of making connections between science, humanities, and the public. SISSA is active in the fields of mathematics, physics, and neuroscience, offering both undergraduate and post-graduate courses. According to the last aggregate data issued by ANVUR - the Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research Systems - SISSA ranks: Since July 13, 2010 the campus has been located near Opicina, where it is easily accessible by Opicina tramway.

Il Master Internazionale in Neuroscienze è nato nel 2003 da una collaborazione con la Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) di Trieste. In 1986, Budinich left his position to Daniele Amati, who at the time was at the head of the theoretical division at CERN. The term Neuroscience refers to the scientific study of the brain. The school became operative with a PhD course in theoretical physics, and Budinich himself was appointed as general director.

The physicist Stefano Ruffo, the current director, was appointed in 2015. Noam Chomsky, linguista di fama internazionale ha ricevuto lo scorso 17 settembre il titolo di PhD honoris causa in Neuroscienze dalla Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) di Trieste.In occasione della visita lo scienziato ha tenuto una Lectio Magistralis dal titolo "The minimalist program and language acquisition" nell'Aula Magna della scuola. SISSA was founded in 1978, as a part of the reconstruction following the Friuli earthquake of 1976. It currently offers a course in Scientific Communication and Scientific journalism. Just as hopeless, however, would be to focus on one of them, and ignore the existence of the others. With this vision in mind, research in our group covers tactile perception and learning (Mathew Diamond); food, action control and social cognition (Raffaella Rumiati); neural computation in the hippocampus and in language (Alessandro Treves); time and space perception (Domenica Bueti); reading, language and abstract cognition (Davide Crepaldi); and visual perception and neural processing in the visual brain (Davide Zoccolan). Recently SISSA, in partnership with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, built a new supercomputing centre in Miramare, near Trieste, with about 100 teraFLOPS of computing power.
