Cognitive sciences and technologies: from neuron to cognition

2023/2024 Academic year

Cognitive sciences and technologies: from neuron to cognition

Competitive Advantages

‘Cognitive Science and Technologies: From Neuron to Cognition’ is the only English-language Master’s program in cognitive sciences in Russia. All the lecturers are active world-class scientists including the highly cited researchers in the fields of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neuroeconomics, neurolinguistics and other interdisciplinary areas. Thanks to the international partners’ laboratories students have an access to the whole range of neuroimaging techniques which provide unique opportunity for the development of young researchers.

The program ‘Cognitive Science and Technologies: From Neuron to Cognition’ offers courses in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and neuro-modelling. Taken together these disciplines study how memories, emotions, cognition or consciousness actually work. Students attend lectures in English and practice in leading laboratories of Moscow and of our international partners. Leading scientists supervise students' practical training and writing of Master's thesis during the second year. The program is carried out in close cooperation with the École Normale Supérieure and Aarhus University.

Professional Activities and Competencies of Programme Graduates

After graduating from our program, our alumni will be able to design experimental paradigms, analyze and interpret complex data on the advanced level and conduct state-of-the-art behavioral and psychophysiological experiments by means of modern neuroimaging techniques.

Master’s program “Cognitive sciences and technologies: from neuron to cognition” gives proficiency in signal processing, statistical data analysis and in interpretation of neuronal mechanisms that underlie various cognitive processes. Students also gain skills of modeling behavior of complex systems such as ion channels, neuronal networks, etc.  Acquired knowledge may be applied in different areas, from fundamental research to biomedicine, biotechnologies and production management systems. Alumni of Master’s program “Cognitive sciences and technologies: from neuron to cognition” can continue their career in science or biomedical industry (i.e. in the project developing brain-computer interface), or in education. Professional skills gained during education on our program allows bright career in Russian academic institutions and abroad.
