It is designed for students with a good degree in the biological / life (psychology, neuroscience, biology, medicine, etc.) or physical (computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering) sciences, however, individuals with different backgrounds but commensurate experience will also be considered.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>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 cognitive processes (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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>* LINKS WITH INDUSTRY *<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>=====================<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>The programme has recently acquired an Industry Advisory Panel, consisting of representatives from 6 different international companies with headquarters in UK, Germany, Italy, USA and Japan. Carrying out your final project in collaboration with one of our industry partners 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></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>For any further information, including funding opportunities and tuition fees, please visit:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/msc-computational-cognitive-neuroscience/"><span style='color:black'>https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/msc-computational-cognitive-neuroscience/</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/fees-funding/" title="https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/fees-funding/"><span style='color:black'>https://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/fees-funding/</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>For any other specific questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Max Garagnani<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Maria Herrojo Ruiz<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>--<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Joint Programme Leaders, MSc in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Department of Computing <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Goldsmiths, University of London<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Lewisham Way, New Cross<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>London SE14 6NW, UK<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Tel. +44 (0)20 7919 7850 <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Fax: +44 (0)20 7919 7853 <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/computing/people/garagnani-max/">https://www.gold.ac.uk/computing/people/garagnani-max/</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/psychology/staff/herrojo-ruiz-maria/">https://www.gold.ac.uk/psychology/staff/herrojo-ruiz-maria/</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Follow this Masters on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/coconeuro_gold">https://twitter.com/coconeuro_gold</a> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>********************************************************************************<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
