Systems Neuroscience at the University of Oregon spans both the Psychology and Biology departments, and is strongly connected with the Institute of Neuroscience. Research areas span levels from genes to circuits to behavior, with a focus on understanding how neuronal computations underlie behavior. Current faculty study both the sensory systems such as the olfactory, visual, and auditory systems as well as how these interact with neural systems for memory, attention, and decision-making. Systems Neuroscience labs at Oregon are highly collaborative both within the Systems area, as well as with Biology labs studying synaptic, cellular, and molecular neuroscience, and with Cognitive Neuroscience labs using fMRI and EEG to study working memory and attention in humans. Research uses a range of innovative approaches, including optogenetics, electrophysiology, imaging, and theory, placing Systems Neuroscience at the heart of a highly cooperative and collaborative intellectual community.<br>The University of Oregon's Individualized Master's Program in Psychology (MS option only) is designed to provide advanced training for a small number of individuals who have a clearly focused research interest and an academic plan.<br><br>Unlike other master's programs, this program is not designed for general masters level training in psychology. Nor can we provide clinical training (practica and skills development) at the masters level.
