Students in the Program are required to take four core courses and three elective courses related to Cognitive Science and Cognitive Neuroscience. Program students are also required to do research in two labs related to the program’s emphases. The overall research agenda of these labs is very broad (e. g., including labs studying traditional cognitive neuroscience, emotion, artificial intelligence, psychiatric disorders, non-human species, etc.).
