[Max Garagnani]

Please feel free to forward to any interested party.

 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

The Departments of Computing and Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London (UK) 
are pleased to announce the launch of a new MSc programme in

 

Computational Cognitive Neuroscience

(http://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/msc-computational-cognitive-neuroscience/)

 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

* COURSE OUTLINE *

 —————————

This is a one-year Master degree programme, consisting of taught courses plus research project and dissertation. 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).

 

The core contents 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. Unlike many other 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 “higher” cognitive processes.

 

* HOW TO APPLY *

 —————————

The program is now accepting students’ applications for the 2019-20 intake.
