神经科学和认知科学理学学士：计算重点

由于最近的技术进步，神经科学（对神经系统的科学研究）和认知科学（对如何在人脑中表示和转换信息的研究）之间的联系越来越紧密。亚利桑那大学在提供结合了两者的本科课程方面非常独特。NSCS计划的学生将在神经科学和认知科学的动态界面学习。该课程包括探索基础知识的核心课程和一系列选修课程，使学生能够在这个高度跨学科的领域中追求自己的兴趣。特别鼓励实验室研究。
Neuroscience (the scientific study of the nervous system) and Cognitive Science (the study of how information is represented and transformed in the human brain) are moving ever closer together due to recent technological advances. The Computation emphasis within the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science major will appeal to students interested in linking information processing of the brain and nervous system with the information processing systems of computer hardware and software. The interdisciplinary studies of neuroscience and cognitive science require individuals with strong data-mining skills to further the world's understanding of the nervous system, brain and behavior. Students earning a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a Computation emphasis study math and physics. They apply this knowledge base to topics such as biomedical informatics, machine learning and computational modeling. Undergraduate laboratory opportunities with faculty help further their expertise and prepare them for graduate studies and advanced research along with careers in medicine, bioengineering, electrophysiology and more.
