心理学哲学博士-认知神经科学

认知神经科学学院提供涵盖人和动物方法的综合计划，以解决有关认知功能组织和神经结构的问题。教师感兴趣的特定领域包括记忆力，注意力和表现，衰老，语言，情感以及脑成像方法的发展和完善。认知神经科学系的研究使用了大量方法，包括功能性和结构性MRI，心理生理学记录（例如ERP），眼动追踪，神经心理学测试以及人类的光学读数（EROS和NIRS）作为动物的电刺激（例如TMS）以及药理和病灶制剂。由于该计划领域成员的工作具有高度协作的性质，并且提供了动手方法培训，因此该计划的学生可以接触并鼓励直接使用其中的许多方法。该计
The faculty in cognitive neuroscience offer a comprehensive program encompassing both human and animal approaches to questions about functional organization and neural architecture of cognition. Specific areas of faculty interest include memory, attention and performance, aging, language, emotion, and the development and refinement of brain imaging methods. The research of the cognitive neuroscience faculty makes use of a vast array of methods, including functional and structural MRI, psychophysiological recordings (e.g., ERP), eye-tracking, neuropsychological testing, and optical readings (EROS and NIRS) in humans, as well as electrical stimulation (e.g. TMS), and pharmacological and lesion preparations in animals. Because of the highly collaborative nature of the work of members of this program area and the hands-on methodological training offered, students in the program have exposure to, and are encouraged to gain direct experience with, a number of these methods. This program is strongly research oriented. Each graduate student works directly with a faculty adviser on original research from the onset of his/her graduate career, including the conducting of a first-year project.
