Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience

Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience (CCNS)

Our Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience track provides a rigorous understanding of how the human brain supports action, affect, decision making, language, perception, reasoning, social processes, and other aspects of cognition and behavior, including how such processes develop and change in child and adult brains through time.

Training focuses on learning one or more techniques used in Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience and performing extensive empirical research in your chosen program of study. Our Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience faculty have strong associations with the Imaging Research Facility, which is located in the Psychology building, and features 3T fMRI, and dual 64-channel EEG systems.

Our faculty share affiliations with other areas in PBS and other programs on campus, including the Cognitive Science Program, the Program in Neuroscience the School of Optometry, the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, and the Network Science Institute. Our students are encouraged to seek multidisciplinary opportunities in both their research and coursework.
