The core of the master's programme is composed of the research groups at UPF's Center for Brain and Cognition (http://cbc.upf.edu). In this email, we emphasize the possibility of participation of outstanding candidates with strong quantitative background, such as physics, mathematics or machine learning eager to learn about computational neuroscience. Candidates with these backgrounds could perform research activity with the following experts in computational neuroscience:

Gustavo Deco (http://cns.upf.edu/)

Albert Compte (http://complab.fcrb.es/complab/pres)

Rubén Moreno-Bote (https://portal.upf.edu/web/ruben-moreno-bote)

Overall, the groups participating at the Master are directed by renowned scientists in areas such as computational neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, vision, multisensory perception, human development and comparative cognition https://www.upf.edu/mbc/who_are_we2.html

.
Students will be exposed to the ongoing research projects at the Center for Brain and Cognition and will be integrated in one of its main research lines, where they will conduct original research for their final project.
