About the Programme

A Masters in Neuroscience with Cognitive Computing is a fascinating interdisciplinary field that combines the study of the brain and nervous system (neuroscience) with the principles of computational models and artificial intelligence (cognitive computing). It covers areas like Neuroscience i.e. how the brain works, including neural networks, brain functions, cognitive processes, and how these processes contribute to behavior and decision-making. This course will also have specialization in Cognitive Computing that focuses on creating systems that can mimic human cognitive functions like perception, learning, reasoning, and decision-making. It involves artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data science techniques to develop systems that process and analyze complex data, often in ways that parallel how humans process information.
