PhD in Cognition and Neural Science (CNS) in Salt Lake City United States | University of Utah

The Cognition and Neural Science (CNS) program focuses on integrating fundamental brain and cognitive research with practical applications. It features two specialized tracks: Cognitive Neuroscience and Applied Cognition, with considerable overlap as numerous faculty members contribute to both domains. Investigative topics within CNS encompass visual perception, attention, memory, executive functions, and decision-making processes. Researchers employ diverse techniques such as animal neurobiological models, ERP, fMRI, cognitive lab experiments, and various simulation approaches including driving scenarios, healthcare applications, and virtual reality settings. CNS research produces groundbreaking results in the discipline, and its interdisciplinary, real-world problem-solving approach gives the program unique recognition both nationally and globally.
