Program Orientation
Ohio State offers a cross-area training program in Cognitive Neuroscience. Faculty and students in the program study the human mind and brain, and our research interests span a multitude of areas, including visual perception and cognition, memory and learning, computational cognitive neuroscience, neuroeconomics, social cognitive neuroscience, clinical cognitive neuroscience, and developmental cognitive neuroscience. We use a variety of research methods, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and computational modeling. The Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging (CCBBI) is a state-of-the-art MRI facility, housing a newly upgraded Siemens Prisma 3 Tesla MRI scanner with integrated Total Imaging Matrix (TIM) system, 32-channel phase array receiver head coil, and all the necessary ancillary equipment and expertise to carry out high quality structural, functional, and diffusion imaging studies. The scanner is conveniently located in the basement of our Psychology Building. The Psychology department also has an EEG facility, containing two electromagnetically-shielded and sound-attenuated testing rooms, each with its own Brain Products active-electrode EEG system (128 channels). These and other resources provide our laboratories easy access to cutting-edge research technologies. The goal of the program is to give students both breadth and depth of training in the practical and theoretical aspects of cognitive neuroscience, so that they can produce exciting new research and graduate from our program with all the tools to be a successful modern cognitive neuroscientist
