Doctoral studies in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin

The Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience (CTCN) at UT is a multidisciplinary, collaborative center dedicated to understanding how the brain computes. Faculty members contribute expertise from the fields of Neuroscience, Mathematics, Computer Science, Psychology, Physics, and Engineering. Research at CTNC broadly aims at developing both new theoretical and new empirical approaches to better understand neural computation. More information about CTCN can be found at http://ctcn.utexas.edu/ <http://ctcn.utexas.edu/>

A list of relevant faculty, sorted by department affiliation, is provided below. Students interested in pursuing theoretical or computational neuroscience at UT can apply to any of the listed departments.
