Overview

Key facts

The Cognition and Neuroscience PhD program at University of Texas at Dallas offers a distinctive blend of research initiatives and doctoral study in the neural processes underlying sensation, perception, memory, learning, language and executive function throughout the lifespan.
Students may focus on perception and memory for complex information patterns such as faces, speech, language, music, and text, or reasoning and decision-making processes in conditions such as brain damage and addiction.
Another area of strength is cellular and molecular neuroplasticity — in typical learning and memory as well as in chronic pain and other atypical conditions such as addiction and psychiatric disease. The program also has strengths in artificial neural networks and neuro-engineering.
