神经科学与认知科学哲学博士

NACS计划为有兴趣从事神经科学和认知科学各个领域的博士水平研究的学生提供了广泛的研究和培训机会。学院的研究兴趣集中在七个主要领域：细胞与分子，感觉与运动系统，计算建模与理论，语言与语音，认知与情感，发展与衰老以及疾病与治疗。研究方法既包括理论研究，也包括实验研究，并且有几个实验室同时进行。NACS的研究和培训活动在以下20个参与部门和单位的学院实验室内进行：航空工程，动物和禽科学，生物学，计算机科学，电气和计算机工程，英语，昆虫学，流行病学和生物统计学，听力和语言科学，人类发展，运动机能学，语言学，哲学
The NACS program offers a wide range of research and training opportunities for students who are interested in pursuing doctoral-level research in a variety of areas within neuroscience and cognitive science. Faculty research interests center around seven main areas: Cellular & Molecular, Sensory & Motor Systems, Computational Modeling & Theory, Language & Speech, Cognition & Emotion, Development & Aging, and Disorders & Treatment. Research approaches include both the theoretical and experimental, with several laboratories doing both. Research and training activities of NACS take place within the laboratories of faculty in 20 participating departments and units: Aerospace Engineering, Animal and Avian Sciences, Biology, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, English, Entomology, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Hearing and Speech Sciences, Human Development, Kinesiology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Psychology, and Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership, as well as the Center for Advanced Study of Language, the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, the Institute for Systems Research, the Maryland Neuroimaging Center, and the Second Language Acquisition program. The NACS program requires the completion of two required core courses and three out of five core courses, including introduction to neurosciences, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and cognitive science. The goal of the Program is to bring together the diverse perspectives and strengths of all the included disciplines in order to understand the working of the nervous system, the mind, and behavior.
