Summary
Do you have an undergraduate degree in psychology and want to further your understanding of the neurological foundations of how humans think about, interact with, and experience the world around them?
Studying both cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology thoroughly grounds you in the scientific investigation of the neural mechanisms underlying human thoughts and behaviour. On our Masters course, you are taught the theoretical and biological foundations of cognitive science, and undertake advanced training in statistics and neuropsychological research methods.
Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific study of biological substrates underlying cognition, with a focus on the neural correlates of mental processes. It is a branch of both psychology and neuroscience, overlapping with disciplines such as biological psychology, cognitive psychology, and neuropsychology. Cognitive neuropsychology uses data from single cases of individuals with brain injury or neurological illness to refine theoretical models of cognitive processing.
Explore topics including:
-
the physiological bases and practical applications of cognitive neuroscience techniques
-
how brain activity translates into cognitive processes
-
the theoretical and biological foundations of cognitive science
-
how brain damages impact cognitive functions
-
cognitive neuroscience of language
-
cognitive neuropsychology of reading and face processing
