Program Description:

The Cognition and Perception program is especially geared toward students who wish to develop skills in mathematics, statistics, neuroscience, or artificial intelligence as well as in psychology. Our program's curriculum offers several specializations that foster these technical skills for use in Formal Modeling, Mathematical Psychology, and other rigorous approaches to research on Cognition and Perception. Many faculty members in the Cognition and Perception program have close ties with at least one other program, particularly the Biopsychology, Social, and Developmental areas. Thus, Cognition and Perception students may easily elect to pursue programs of study involving close relations with other areas in the Psychology Department or other departments. A recent growing trend has been toward emphasis on neural aspects of various cognitive processes, with students studying jointly in Experimental and Clinical Neuropsychology, as well as taking advantage of Michigan's impressive neuroimaging facilities.
