The Departments of Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Neuroscience of The Johns Hopkins University propose a new interdisciplinary training program in perceptual and cognitive neuroscience. The purpose of the program is to train predoctoral and postdoctoral students for careers in teaching and independent research in the neural basis of perception and cognition through advanced coursework and laboratory experience. The program will emphasize the technical skill and theoretical insight required to independently conceive and execute cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research in each trainee's chosen area. The program will be jointly administered by core faculty in the-three departments, supplemented by participating faculty in related departments within the University. Trainees will have a primary affiliation in one of the three departments. Each Ph.D. candidate will complete a common set of core requirements stipulated by the training program, in addition, each trainee will complete a small number of additional requirements stipulated by their home department. The core requirements include graduate courses in Foundations of Neuroscience, CNS Neurophysiology, Computational Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Cognitive Psychology. During the first year, each predoctoral trainee will complete a 10-week laboratory rotation in each of the two non-home departments (e.g., a Cognitive Science predoctoral student would complete rotations in Psychology and Neuroscience). All predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees will participate in joint seminars and Journal Club meetings in which program faculty and trainees will present and discuss current research in perceptual and cognitive neuroscience. An ongoing speaker series in Perceptual and Cognitive Neuroscience will provide trainees with exposure to current research by distinguished scholars and scientists. Research areas covered in the program include primate neurophysiology (visual and somatosensory systems), neural plasticity, functional neuroimaging (e.g., PET and fMRI), cognitive neuropsychology and neurology, visual and tactile psychophysics, bioacoustics and auditory perception, attention, perceptual development, and, computational and neural network models of perception, memory, and cognition. All laboratory facilities have been newly renovated within the last 6 years and are state of the art. Trainees and program faculty members are housed in adjacent buildings on the Homewood Campus of The Johns Hopkins University.

约翰·霍普金斯大学心理学、认知科学和神经科学系提出了一项新的感知和认知神经科学跨学科培训计划。该计划的目的是通过高级课程和实验室经验，培养博士前和博士后学生在感知和认知的神经基础领域从事教学和独立研究。该计划将强调每位学员在所选领域独立构思和执行前沿、多学科研究所需的技术技能和理论洞察力。该项目将由三个院系的核心教师共同管理，并由大学内相关院系的参与教师作为补充。学员将主要隶属于这三个部门之一。每个博士。候选人将完成培训计划规定的一套通用核心要求，此外，每位学员还将完成其所在部门规定的少量附加要求。核心要求包括神经科学基础、中枢神经系统神经生理学、计算神经科学、认知神经科学和认知心理学的研究生课程。在第一年，每位博士前实习生将在两个非家庭院系各完成为期 10 周的实验室轮换（例如，认知科学博士前学生将完成心理学和神经科学的轮换）。所有博士前和博士后学员将参加联合研讨会和期刊俱乐部会议，项目教师和学员将在会上介绍和讨论感知和认知神经科学的当前研究。正在进行的感知和认知神经科学演讲系列将为学员提供杰出学者和科学家的最新研究成果。 该计划涵盖的研究领域包括灵长类动物神经生理学（视觉和体感系统）、神经可塑性、功能性神经影像（例如 PET 和 fMRI）、认知神经心理学和神经病学、视觉和触觉心理物理学、生物声学和听觉感知、注意力、知觉发展以及知觉、记忆和认知的计算和神经网络模型。 所有实验室设施均在过去 6 年内进行了新翻修，并且都是最先进的。学员和项目教员住在约翰·霍普金斯大学霍姆伍德校区的相邻建筑内。
