Global Certificate in Cognitive Neuroscience & Human Behavior

• Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience: An introductory unit covering the basics of cognitive neuroscience, including brain structure and function, neuroplasticity, and neural coding. • Cognitive Processes & Neural Correlates: This unit explores the neural correlates of various cognitive processes, such as perception, attention, memory, language, and executive functions. • Neuroimaging Techniques in Cognitive Neuroscience: A unit focusing on the different neuroimaging techniques used in cognitive neuroscience, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG). • Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience: This unit examines how cognitive neuroscience can help us understand typical and atypical cognitive development, including the impact of genetic and environmental factors on brain and behavior. • Clinical Applications of Cognitive Neuroscience: A unit exploring how cognitive neuroscience can inform clinical practice, including the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. • Social Cognitive Neuroscience: This unit investigates the neural basis of social cognition, including theory of mind, empathy, and social decision-making. • Cognitive Neuroscience of Consciousness: A unit examining the neural correlates of consciousness and the philosophical implications of cognitive neuroscience for our understanding of the mind and self. • Computational Modeling in Cognitive Neuroscience: A unit introducing the use of computational models in cognitive neuroscience, including connectionist models, Bayesian models, and neural networks.
