If you want to understand the brain processes that allow us to better understand our place in the world, then psychology with cognitive neuroscience at Essex is for you. We provide one of the most immersive and exciting experiences of studying human thoughts and behaviours in the UK. Our teaching and research focus on innovative solutions to societal challenges, so that you develop the skills and knowledge to make a difference in our world.Psychologists conduct experiments to study cognitive abilities, such as how we perceive others, how we make decisions, how we remember, and how we speak. Cognitive Neuroscientists link these questions directly to underlying brain processes they make use of brain imaging techniques to answer which brain areas support these abilities. They also use time-sensitive imaging methodologies to explore the exact timing of these processes. Together, researchers from both disciplines aim to map the relationship between brain and behaviour.You'll be introduced to contemporary research questions from different fields, including vision, hearing, memory, and language. You'll develop a thorough understanding of how these questions can be answered, what the current state-of-the-art knowledge is, which methodologies are best suited to study which questions, and how different subfields work together to further our understanding of what may seem like simple questions but are in reality complex endeavours.
