It is designed for students with a good degree in the biological / life sciences (psychology, neuroscience, biology, medicine, etc.) or physical sciences (computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering), however, individuals with different backgrounds but equivalent experience will also be considered.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The core contents of this course include (i) fundamentals of cognitive neuroscience (cortical and subcortical mechanisms and structures underlying cognition and behaviour, plus experimental and neuroimaging techniques), and (ii) concepts and methods of computational modelling of biological neurons, simple neuronal circuits, and higher brain functions. Students are trained with a rich variety of computational and advanced methodological skills, taught in the four core modules of the course (“Modelling Cognitive Functions”, “Cognitive Neuroscience”, “Cortical Modelling”, and “Advanced Quantitative Methods”).Unlike other standard computational neuroscience programmes (which focus predominantly on modelling “low-level” aspects of brain function), one of the distinctive features of this course is that it includes the study of biologically constrained models of<i> cognitive processes</i> (including, e.g., language and decision making). The final research project can be carried out “in house” or in collaboration with an external partner, either from academia or industry. <b>Our programme currently has links with 6 different international companies (based in UK, Germany, Italy, USA and Japan).</b> Carrying out your final project in collaboration with one of our industry partners </span>will enable you to acquire modern technical skills that are much in demand, paving the way for employment opportunities and making you particularly competitive on the job market.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:red'>* POSTGRADUATE OPEN EVENING *</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>==============================<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>If you are interested, </span>but <span style='color:black'>still not 100% sure this is the right course for you, come and talk to us in person at the forthcoming Goldsmiths’ annual <b>POSTGRADUATE OPEN EVENING</b>! </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>This is a </span>FREE <span style='color:black'>event open to everyone, </span>which will take place at Goldsmiths campus in London <span style='color:black'>on:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black;background:yellow'>** Wednesday 20<sup>th</sup> November between 4-7pm **.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>During the evening you will hear us present the course and be able to ask us any questions, have a tour of the MSc Laboratories, and even meet some of the current students</span> or future fellow course mates<span style='color:black'>.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>To reserve your place, please visit: </span><span style='color:#4472C4'><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/open-days/"><span style='color:#4472C4'>https://www.gold.ac.uk/open-days/</span></a>. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>More details about<span style='color:black'> </span>e<span style='color:black'>xact time</span>s<span style='color:black'> and location of the MSc Computational Cognitive Neuroscience introductory talk and tour of the lab</span>oratories<span style='color:black'> will</span> be provided nearer to the date<span style='color:black'>.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>For any further information, including funding opportunities and tuition fees, please visit:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/msc-computational-cognitive-neuroscience/"><span style='color:#954F72'>https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/msc-computational-cognitive-neuroscience/</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Should you have any specific questions, please do get in touch.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Best wishes,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Max Garagnani</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>-<span style='color:black'><br></span></span><span style='color:black'>Joint Programme Leader, <a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/msc-computational-cognitive-neuroscience/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#954F72'>MSc in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience</span></a><br>Department of Computing <br>Goldsmiths, University of London<br>Lewisham Way, New Cross<br>London SE14 6NW, UK<br>Tel. +44 (0)20 7919 7850 <br>Fax: +44 (0)20 7919 7853 <u><br><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/computing/people/garagnani-max/" title="https://www.gold.ac.uk/computing/people/garagnani-max/"><span style='color:#954F72'>https://www.gold.ac.uk/computing/people/garagnani-max/</span></a></u></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span style='color:black'><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/psychology/staff/herrojo-ruiz-maria/"><span style='color:#954F72'>https://www.gold.ac.uk/psychology/staff/herrojo-ruiz-maria/</span></a></span></u><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Follow </span>us <span style='color:black'>on <b>Twitter: </b><a href="https://twitter.com/coconeuro_gold"><span style='color:black'>https://twitter.com/coconeuro_gold</span></a><b> </b></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>********************************************************************************<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b> </b><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
