Cognitive Neuroscience at University of Nottingham - UCAS

Course summary

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, a powerful 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.
