This proposal is a request for funds to support 3 predoctoral and 1 postdoctoral trainees in the area of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience. Cognitive Neuroscience is an emerging discipline at the intersection of the cognitive and neurosciences. The goal of this research is to understand human behavior in terms of its brain bases. Computational modeling plays an essential role in this endeavor, providing a theoretical framework for understanding both high level cognition and basic brain mechanisms. The goal of the training program is to develop future cognitive neuroscientists who will be able to advance the goal of understanding brain- behavior relationships, using computational modeling as a primary tool. The preceptors are 12 faculty from the neuroscience doctoral program and the departments of psychology, linguistics, and computer science, from which trainees will be drawn. Research activities focus on three substantive areas: language; vision; and learning and memory. The training plan focuses on courses and other activities that will allow trainees to integrate cognition, computational, and neurosciences approaches in conducting research in these areas. The plan for the postdoctoral position focuses on permitting a student trained in psychology or linguistics to gain additional expertise related to cognitive and computational neuroscience.

该提案请求资金支持认知和计算神经科学领域的 3 名博士前培训生和 1 名博士后培训生。认知神经科学是认知和神经科学交叉领域的一门新兴学科。这项研究的目标是从大脑基础角度了解人类行为。计算模型在这一努力中发挥着重要作用，为理解高级认知和基本大脑机制提供了理论框架。该培训计划的目标是培养未来的认知神经科学家，他们将能够使用计算模型作为主要工具来推进理解大脑行为关系的目标。导师是来自神经科学博士项目以及心理学、语言学和计算机科学系的12名教师，实习生将从其中选拔。研究活动集中在三个实质性领域：语言；想象;以及学习和记忆。培训计划的重点是课程和其他活动，使学员能够整合认知、计算和神经科学方法来开展这些领域的研究。博士后职位的计划重点是让接受过心理学或语言学培训的学生获得与认知和计算神经科学相关的额外专业知识。
