[vslist] Interdisciplinary Graduate Program-Cognitive Neuroscience

[Leigh Anne Couch]

DUKE'S NEW INTERDISCIPLINARY TRAINING PROGRAM
IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE

The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) at Duke University is pleased 
to announce a new Interdisciplinary Training Program for Graduate Study in 
Cognitive Neuroscience. Through an intensive two-year sequence of courses, 
lab rotations, and seminars, students will learn innovative approaches to 
research on higher human brain functions, including, but not limited to, 
perception, attention, memory, language, emotion, motor control, executive 
functions, consciousness and the evolution of mental processes. The 
training program cuts across departmental boundaries, with faculty from 
Psychological and Brain Sciences, Neurobiology, Psychiatry, Radiology, 
Biomedical Engineering, Neurology, Computer Science, Biology, and 
Philosophy. In addition to the breadth and depth of the faculty, the 
combined resources of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and the Program 
offer an unusually rich technical environment for training in the cognitive 
neuroscience methodologies of brain imaging, electrical brain recording, 
behavioral analysis and psychophysics, and computational modeling. The 
Program offers this interdisciplinary training in collaboration with the 
participating degree-granting departments, in a structure in which the 
student obtains a Ph.D. from one of these departments in a specialized 
curriculum focused on Cognitive Neuroscience.
