Cognitive Neuroscience (Research)

The recent advancement in technology that allows us to measure and probe brain function and mechanism means there is a mass of new data to inform our understanding of the brain. Explaining this data and understanding it requires a theoretical framework to work with.

Cognitive neuroscience provides this framework and a powerful explanatory basis to understand the mind and its causal relation to the brain. This MSc by Research course will give you the practical skills required to conduct cognitive neuroscience research and the expertise in neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques.

You will have the opportunity to become part of a national and international collaborative research network and pursue a specific research project of your own interest in collaboration with experts in the field.

Course highlights:

- You will explore recent advances and developments in cognitive neuroscience through research.
- You will gain experience in brain stimulation and/or neuroimaging techniques and learn how to use them to conduct your own research study.
- You will have access to specialised and state-of-the-art software and research equipment (TMS,TES, EEG, eye-tracking) to analyse and interpret brain data.
- You will learn through in-depth tutorials and workshops from researchers active in the field of cognitive neuroscience.
