Cognitive Neuroscience

Programs in Cognitive Neuroscience focus on Neuroimaging and Neuropsychological approaches to human behavior. Functional neuroimaging techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Electroencephalography (EEG), are used to study the neural bases of human behavior. Neuropsychological methods assess varieties of psychological dysfunction associated with brain damage or disease.
