Cognitive neuroscience is a multidisciplinary academic field dedicated to the scientific study of the brain mechanisms that underlie cognitive processes, in both health and disease. We investigate a range of research questions, including memory, attention, affective processing, object recognition, ageing, neurodegeneration, and brain trauma. Techniques employed to tackle these questions comprise neuroimaging (structural and functional MRI), electrophysiology (EEG and ERPs), and brain stimulation (tDCS).
It is considered one of the most significant areas of contemporary science and it is beginning to transform the understanding of both normal and damaged brain function.
The importance of cognitive neuroscience has been recognised by the Welsh Government which created the multi-centre Wales Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, drawing together the psychology departments at Swansea, Cardiff and Bangor Universities.
A core aspect of the provision for MSc Cognitive Neuroscience will also be collaboration with Swansea University's Medical School.
Students will also receive training on generic statistical, writing, and research skills, and will complete an extended dissertation project, using one of the three neuroimaging techniques.
