Cognitive Neuroscience - Duke University

Cognitive Neuroscience from Duke University is a Campus Master Neuroscience degree that prepares you for a Science career. Program Description The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience offers an interdisciplinary program for graduate study in cognitive neuroscience. Students in the program will gain a thorough understanding of the intellectual issues that drive this rapidly growing field, as well as expertise in the major methods for research on higher human brain functions. These functions include, but are not limited to, perception, attention, memory, language, emotion, motor control, executive functions, consciousness, and the evolution of mental processes. Cognitive neuroscience is an interdisciplinary area of research and scholarship. Thus, the program at Duke explicitly involves collaboration between multiple departments of the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Students will have access to the facilities of all participating entities, including MRI scanners located in the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center, EEG labs in the Center, and extensive facilities for psychophysical studies in humans and behavioral studies in animals. The program entails an intensive two-year sequence of courses, lab work and teaching, followed by preparation of thesis proposal and completion of original work in cognitive neuroscience over the next 3 to 4 years. Students admitted into Cognitive Neuroscience have up to one year to affiliate with a Ph.D. degree-granting program in one of the five participating departments, but all who complete the requirements of the interdisciplinary program will also receive a formal certificate of graduate study in Cognitive Neuroscience.
