Brain and Cognition

Provide knowledge in the domains of computational psychology and cognitive neuroscience. This course will serve as a bridge between cognitive-neuropsychological approaches to brain functioning and the more technically-oriented classes

Knowledge and understanding

This course provides a strong background in computational psychology and systems-level neuroscience and allows students to develop integrative research interests that cross domains.

Applying knowledge and understanding

Students will gain a thorough critical understanding of the intellectual debates that drive these rapidly growing fields, as well as expertise in the major methods for research on higher functions, both at the cognitive and the neurobiological level. They will also learn how to define simple cognitive models.
