Cognitive Neuroscience MSc

This hands-on course will prepare you for a range of research intensive careers. It will teach you the latest in cognitive neuroscience. You will develop transferable skills, such as:<br/><br/><br/>- coding and MATLAB<br/><br/><br/>- solving complex problems <br/><br/><br/>- presenting your work<br/><br/><br/>You will gather your own data and learn to analyse and visualise it. <br/><br/>Our universitys contribution to cognitive neuroscience is considerable. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a powerful technique for measuring the brain, was developed here. We are also driving the development of a new wearable brain scanner based on magnetic fields. <br/><br/>This course is taught by academics actively involved in research. You will have the opportunity to specialise with a research project. Previous topics include:<br/><br/><br/>- Using diffusion tensor imaging to measure sight after stroke<br/><br/><br/>- How do humans perceive time?<br/><br/><br/>- Brain stimulation for rehabilitation after brain tumour surgery<br/><br/><br/>We are part of the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, with strong links to other academic schools within the University.
