Program Description: The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) at Boston University offers MA and PhD programs in modeling the brain principles, mechanisms, and architectures that underlie human and animal behavior. Our interdisciplinary courses cover behavioral and brain experiments and modeling in the areas of: vision; speech and language understanding; recognition; cognitive information processing; self-organization; associative learning and long-term memory; cooperative and competitive brain dynamics and short-term memory; reinforcement, motivation and attention; adaptive sensory-motor control; biological rhythms; mental disorders; and neural models of individual neurons, local circuits, networks, maps and architectures. CNS also offers training in experimental psychophysics (vision, audition, speech, sensory-motor control), and in experimental neuroscience (with adjunct faculty).
