理解脑与行为之间关系的数据采集和分析技术不断涌现，这就需要对神经科学方法及其应用有深入了解的知识，以便通过认知神经科学实现健康，以及通过临床神经科学实现疾病发作时理解脑功能。新策略的发展以及来自世界各地健康和临床人群的大量认知，神经影像和遗传数据集的可获得性，产生了对训练有素的个人使用这些资源促进科学进步和改善人类健康的需求。认知和临床神经科学MSc旨在解决这一需求。
This course covers data capture and analysis techniques to understand brain-behaviour relationships are continually emerging, creating a need for in-depth knowledge of neuroscience methods and their applications to understand brain function when healthy through cognitive neuroscience, and when disease strikes through clinical neuroscience.The development of new strategies combined with the availability of large cognitve, neuroimaging and genetic data sets from healthy and clinical populations from different parts of the world have created a need for trained individuals to use these resources for scientific advancement and to improve human health. The Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience MSc has been designed to address this need.On this course, you will develop a detailed understanding of the historical and contemporary concepts and theories underpinning our current understanding of human brain-behaviour, innovative neuroscience methods and their application to understand brain function, and the core cognitive and affective processes and associated neurology.You will also be equipped with specialised analytical skills that will allow you to assess and interpret neuropsychological function in healthy and clinical populations, and will be able to report research evidence as a result.Whilst studying either one year full-time or two years part-time, you will be taught by a multidisciplinary team of experts including psychologists, psychophysiologists, neuroimaging researchers and clinical scientists. The academics teaching the course are making advances in cognitive and clinical neuroscience, and will lead with their research so you will receive the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.You will learn innovative neuroscience methods and gain hands-on experience with our MRI scanners to study brain function in health and disease. Completing this exciting programme will equip you with skills and knowledge that prepare you for a range of PhD opportunities in cognitive and clinical areas of psychology, neuropsychology and neuroscience. It is also good preparation for some other forms of postgraduate training, and students seeking careers in data analysis and certain allied health care professions.
