The Cognitive Neuroscience PhD program trains future researchers for careers in academia and scientific institutions. Its rigorous curriculum focuses on hands-on investigation of perception, attention, and memory processes, particularly their neural foundations. Participants work alongside professors employing varied methodologies such as patient studies, brain imaging techniques, animal research, psychophysics, and computer simulations. This program differs from clinical neuropsychology tracks as it doesn't include instruction in diagnosing or managing neurological conditions.
The George Washington University's medical school and affiliated teaching hospital support cognitive neuroscience studies through specialized divisions examining neurological sciences, brain surgery, and neuroimaging.
