The Computation emphasis within the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science major will appeal to students interested in linking information processing of the brain and nervous system with the information processing systems of computer hardware and software. The interdisciplinary studies of neuroscience and cognitive science require individuals with strong data-mining skills to further the world's understanding of the nervous system, brain and behavior. Students earning a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a Computation emphasis study math and physics. They apply this knowledge base to topics such as biomedical informatics, machine learning and computational modeling. Undergraduate laboratory opportunities with faculty help further their expertise and prepare them for graduate studies and advanced research along with careers in medicine, bioengineering, electrophysiology and more.
