Program Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy in Cognitive Neuroscience equips students with expertise in the study of cognition and behavior from a neuroscientific perspective. Through research with leading scientists, students delve into neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience methodologies, and the neural underpinnings of psychological processes. This rigorous program prepares graduates for research careers in academia, research institutes, and non-academic settings.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Our Doctor of Philosophy in Cognitive Neuroscience trains students to become experts in the study of the neuroscience of cognition and behavior. Students explore the neurobiology of cognition with developmental, cognitive and clinical neuroscience researchers in the areas of sensorimotor behavior and perception, language, memory, executive function and substance abuse. The rigorous academic program prepares students for research careers at research institutes, at public and private universities, or in non-academic settings. We maintain a strong emphasis on learning basic neuroanatomy and physiology, cognitive neuroscience research methodologies (including MRI, TMS, EEG and other electrophysiological measures), and analytic skills and neural bases of psychology and psychopathology.
