Overview


Neuroscience and Cognition

Introduction

Neuroscience and Cognition is the interplay between how our brain functions and our psychological processes - understanding how we think, feel, perceive, remember, and behave.

We can study our brains to understand many interconnected things, including our experiences and personalities, neurological conditions, ageing, and recovering after brain injuries.

Neuroscience and Cognition

What will my study involve?

  • Investigate the brain, its structure, and function, to see how we become the way we are and behave the way we do, and why this changes over time.
  • Practical components include an introduction to visualising, analysing, and interpreting brain imaging data, neuroscience techniques, and lab work.

Neuroscience and Cognition
