This course aims to review progress in understanding interindividual differences in human cognition and their neural underpinnings. Rather than examining how the mind works in general, the focus will be on variations in brain and behaviour across individuals that are tied to creativity, synesthesia, music, imagery, navigation, and autobiographical memory.
