You may be surprised to find out that a bachelor’s degree in computer science provides you with an excellent background for graduate studies in the exciting research field of computational neuroscience.

At Boston University, computational neuroscientists:

  • Build brain-computer interfaces that allow paralyzed people to control computers or robotic devices
  • Develop neuromorphic technologies that mimic how the brain solves complex problems such as vision, navigation, and movement control
  • Create neural network models of brain circuits underlying perception, action, and cognition
  • Use sophisticated mathematical analyses of brain rhythms to study human cognition and neurological disorders

These are just a few of the research opportunities available to Computational Neuroscience graduate students in the Boston University Graduate Program for Neuroscience. For more information, visit us at:
