Course Overview

Through the use of state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience research techniques, you will study the structure and function of the brain, examine the cognitive neuroscience of health and disease and learn the latest research techniques and methodologies to understand how brain structure and function underlie cognitive functions. This program will give you an understanding of the relationship between complex cognitive functions and their underlying brain mechanisms, in both patients and healthy individuals, as well as in-depth knowledge of cognitive neuroscience research techniques and methodologies. Hands-on research experience will be a key part of your studies. In our state-of-the-art research facilities, youll use many of the most important research tools used in contemporary cognitive neuroscience, including MRI, EEG, eye-tracking, brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS), cognitive testing, and both standard and computational data analysis. Youll learn how abnormal brain functioning can contribute to psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and drug use and addiction, as well as how cognitive neuroscience techniques can contribute to their treatment.
