Course summary

Cognitive neuroscience examines the biological processes that help us to understand complex mental functions such as memory, language, emotion, perception, attention, and consciousness.

While psychology focuses on understanding the structure of the mind through behavioural experiments, neuroscience provides a window on how these processes occur in the brain.

Our course gives you unique access to the York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC) where you'll have opportunities for hands-on experience of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). You'll learn how to design, analyse, and evaluate neuroimaging experiments, and see how they contribute to our understanding of brain mechanisms.

Provided jointly by the Department of Psychology and the, the course pulls in expertise from other areas of the University, such as the Hull York Medical School.

Assessment and feedback

Modules are assessed through essays, critical analysis, presentations, practical reports, and a dissertation and poster presentation based on the Empirical Project.
