Course content

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:

  • coding and MATLAB
  • solving complex problems
  • presenting your work

You will gather your own data and learn to analyse and visualise it.

Our university's contribution to cognitive neuroscience is considerable. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the main technique for measuring the brain, was developed here. We are also driving the development of a new wearable brain scanner based on magnetic fields.

This course is taught by academics actively involved in research. You will have the opportunity to specialise with a research project. Previous topics include:

  • Using diffusion tensor imaging to measure sight after stroke
  • How do humans perceive time?
  • Brain stimulation for rehabilitation after brain tumour surgery

We are part of the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, with strong links to other academic schools within the University.
