Cognitive Neuroscience

The Ph.D. program in Cognitive Neuroscience trains students to become researchers of the physiological processes supporting human cognition. Students in this program use cutting-edge technology to explore the temporal and spatial characteristics of brain activation, including electroencephalography and function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Students complete coursework in neuroscience, neuroanatomy, cognitive neuroscience, experimental design and statistics. Elective courses are offered in computational neuroscience, signal processing, advanced neuroscience techniques, attention and performance, language and thought. The program includes:

a 60-credit program in basic cognitive neuroscience
