Cognitive Neuroscience (Certificate Program)<br />

Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Mitr<strong>of</strong>f, Director <strong>of</strong> Graduate Studies (249 Levine Science Research Center)<br />

Students interested in graduate training in cognitive neuroscience should apply to <strong>the</strong> Graduate Program in<br />

Cognitive Neuroscience (CN). Cognitive neuroscience uses <strong>the</strong> techniques and principles <strong>of</strong> neuroscience to<br />

understand <strong>the</strong> neural and psychological mechanisms that underlie cognitive processes such as attention, perception,<br />

memory, decision making, motor control, conscious awareness, and many o<strong>the</strong>rs. The CN program is a graduate<br />

admitting program designed for students who are interested in broad training that integrates ideas and techniques<br />

across this diverse and rapidly growing field. Research experience will provide expertise in <strong>the</strong> major methods that<br />

drive cognitive brain research. Program faculty are drawn from a wide range <strong>of</strong> departments and programs including<br />

Psychology and Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Psychiatry, Biomedical Engineering, Philosophy, Evolutionary<br />

Anthropology, Computer Science, Linguistics, Neurology, and Radiology.<br />

Students who matriculate to <strong>the</strong> CN admitting program do not initially affiliate with any particular department or<br />

advisor. They begin by completing broad coursework and laboratory research rotations within <strong>the</strong> umbrella <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CN<br />

program. Typical early coursework includes a proseminar sequence in cognitive neuroscience, lectures and workshops<br />

in neurobiology, and seminars on core methods for measuring brain function. During <strong>the</strong>ir first year, students complete<br />

rotations in three laboratories, <strong>of</strong>ten chosen because <strong>the</strong>y investigate different research topics or use diverse research<br />
