MSc Applied Cognitive Neuroscience

This program provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between complex cognitive processes and the underlying brain mechanisms in both individuals with cognitive impairments and those who are neurologically healthy. Additionally, it offers extensive knowledge of various research techniques and methodologies employed in the field of cognitive neuroscience.

The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including the examination of brain structure and function, interpretation of research findings from studies involving neuroimaging and brain damage, analysis of neural mechanisms related to decision-making, emotion, attention, memory, and visual processing. Moreover, the program addresses the gaps in our current understanding of these areas. You will also explore how abnormal brain functioning contributes to psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, drug use, and addiction. Furthermore, you will gain insights into how cognitive neuroscience techniques can be applied to enhance treatment approaches for these conditions.
