M.Sc Cognitive Neuroscience
This course will be a broad overview of current research and methods in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience. The course will start with a basic overview of organization of the nervous system and functional organization of brain from cognitive perspective. Also the neural mechanisms involved in the development of memory, language, spatial cognition, object perception, executive functions, and attention would be studied. The method researchers use to study developmental cognitive science, including metabolic measures, electrophysiological techniques (including biofeedback, neurofeedback, EEG and ERPS) would be discussed in detail. An emphasis is also laid on the computational intelligence and its relation to cognitive science.
The course work also focuses on the socio-cognitive components of decision-making etc. A separate paper is dedicated to consciousness studies involving the like spirituality in relation to cognition. The students are required to submit a dissertation thesis in the last semester on any of the topics related to cognitive science. The aim is to provide students experience in research design, data analysis and interpretation. Cognition is the process by which one acquires processes, stores and acts on information from the environment.
