NIMH Training Program in Cognitive Neurosciences

2013 Predoctoral Fellowship Oportunities.

2013 Post Doctoral Fellowship Oportunities.

The INC supports training programs for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in Cognitive Neuroscience (NIMH). The Center converges neurobiological, cognitive science, computational and engineering resources for understanding the relationship between the mind and the brain. The Center develops new models of brain dynamics, new signal processing techniques based on these models, and the experimental methods to test them. One goal is to study brain activity that supports social interactions.
