Get your PhD in Computational Neuroscience at Boston University
You may be surprised to find out that a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mathematics or statistics provides you with an excellent background for graduate studies in the exciting research field of computational neuroscience.
At Boston University, computational neuroscientists:
- Develop realistic mathematical models of individual neurons for applications in health and disease
- Create sophisticated statistical analysis tools for applications in human cognition and neurological disorders.
- Create neural network models of brain circuits underlying perception, action, and cognition.
- Build brain-computer interfaces that allow paralyzed people to control computers or robotic devices
- Develop neuromorphic technologies that mimic how the brain solves complex problems such as vision, navigation, and movement control
These are just a few of the research opportunities available to Computational Neuroscience graduate students in the Boston University Graduate Program for Neuroscience. For more information, visit us at:http://www.bu.edu/neuro/graduate/computational-neuroscience/
