The Bachelor of Science in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN) is an interdisciplinary program co-managed by the Cognitive Science and Psychology departments. This field explores and analyzes the connections between brain activity and various mental processes, including sensory perception (like visual processing and attention), fundamental behaviors (such as hunger and sleep cycles), and advanced cognitive abilities (including memory retention and decision-making). Researchers employ diverse methodologies ranging from cellular-level neural recordings to advanced imaging techniques like fMRI and EEG.
