Cognitive Science
Overview
We offer a Brain, Behavior and Quantitative Science degree at University of Kansas. We work toward this goal by developing better models of behavior, cognition, and brain function through translational research and the creation of new computational and statistical tools that allow us to extract meaningful and useful conclusions from complex data.
Features
- The interests of the group include behavioral economics, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive science, developmental science, learning, and quantitative and computational methods.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The Ph.D. program in Brain, Behavior, and Quantitative Science provides instruction and research training for students pursuing careers in the academic, public, and private sectors that draw on the research and scholarly interests of the group.
- A key aspect of the program is that each student's training plan is individually tailored and fit to each student's personal goals. In general, though, a strong emphasis is placed on students developing a fundamental understanding of psychological theory, acquiring advanced statistical and computational skills and expertise, and learning how to apply this science to improve the development and/or well-being of individuals in society.
- Toward this end, the program requires both coursework and constant involvement in the research endeavor, whether in the laboratory or in the field, and (where appropriate) active engagement in opportunities to translate basic science into practice or application.
