This established Masters course builds on the multi-disciplinary and strong research profiles of our Computing and Psychology Departments staff. It equips students with a solid theoretical basis and experimental techniques in computational cognitive neuroscience,
providing them also with an opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge in a practical research project, which may be carried out in collaboration with one of our industry partners (see below). <br>
Areas of application range from <b>machine learning</b> to <b>brain-computer interfaces</b>, to experimental and clinical <b>research
</b>in computational / cognitive neuroscience.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">This is a one-year full-time or two-years part-time Masters programme, consisting of taught courses (120 credits) plus research project and dissertation (60 credits). (Note<b>:</b> 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 sciences (psychology, neuroscience, biology, medicine, etc.) or physical sciences (computer science,
mathematics, physics, engineering)</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">; <span style="color:black">
however, </span>applications from individuals w<span style="color:black">ith different backgrounds but equivalent experience will also be considered. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;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
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">'<span style="color:black">in house</span>'<span style="color:black"> or in collaboration with an external partner, either from academia or industry</span> (see below)<span style="color:black">.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
