Program Highlights
 |
Brain & Cognitive Sciences (BCS) is an interdisciplinary specialization leading to a doctorate (PhD) in Experimental Psychology.
|
|
The BCS program examines cognitive behavior approached from a combination of perspectives.
 |
developmental (infancy and childhood, adolescence and aging),
|
|
neurobiological (neurophysiology, neuropsychology, genetics),
|
|
behavioral (human and animal experimentation),
|
|
computational (neural networks, statistical analyses, intelligent software agents)
|
|
|
Research is an integral part of training. Through active participation in ongoing faculty research, students receive training in two or more different research methodologies and are expected to develop a multidisciplinary approach to their own research.
