(Note: students who need a Tier-4 VISA to study in the UK can only register for the full-time pathway). 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.<br> </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 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.
