About the course

We study human cognition in a wide range of theoretical and practical contexts using a range of methods. For example, using eye tracking to study reading, social cognition and driving.

　　Our aim is to use cognitive models to understand basic processes in attention, thinking, memory, and language. We explore these in relationship to the underlying brain processes and to practical applications in real world situations.

　　We combine a wide range of methods, including:

　　Behavioural testing, including reaction times and eye movements

　　Neuroimaging, including event-related potentials (ERP), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

　　Psychophysiological recording, including skin conductance, facial action coding, and pupillometry

　　Computational cognitive modelling

　　Our research is funded by national and international governmental and non-governmental funding agencies, such as the ESRC, EPSRC, British Academy, Leverhulme, and Innovate UK. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
