We have 69 cognitive neuroscience PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students
PhD Candidate: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience – Decision Confidence
Are you fascinated by the brain mechanisms behind perceptual decision making, sensory uncertainty, and decision confidence? Do you want to understand how we actively gather information across the senses to navigate an uncertain world? Join our multidisciplinary team as a PhD candidate to investigate these questions!. Read more
PhD Candidate: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience – Multisensory Perceptual Inference, Learning and Attention
Are you fascinated by how the brain makes sense of the senses in a complex dynamic multisensory world? How it flexibly adapts to changes in its environment? Join our multidisciplinary team to study the computations and neural mechanisms of how the brain addresses some of the most fundamental challenges. Read more
Cognitive neuroscience of atypical attention in autism and ADHD
The perceptual saliency of distracting non-target information presents a major challenge for attention selection processes, which are required to bias selection away from distracting, non-target items. Read more
Platelet (dys)function in early pathophysiology of neurodegeneration
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. . Project advert. This PhD project explores how platelet function, which triggers blood clotting, contributes to early neurodegenerative processes, focusing on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and potential progression to dementia. Read more
Intertemporal Processes in Neurocognitive Development
Join a programme of work that aims to build conceptual and empirical bridges between the physiological, psychological, and cultural influences on human adolescent development. Read more
Psychology Doctoral Research Studentship (UK and International) (2025)
The School of Psychology is offering up to 11 Open UK/International Doctoral Research Scholarships for entry in September 2025 for a project proposed by the applicant. . Read more
Using ultrasound thalamotomy as an opportunity to understand the contributions of the human thalamus to decision making and learning
The contribution of the human thalamic nuclei to decision making are poorly understood and a focus of considerable interest given their routine use as safe targets for functional neurosurgery in tremor and Parkinson's disease. Read more
Object categorisation and word learning in infants
From the first months of life, infants can group objects into categories based on visual similarity. Read more
Research Associate / PhD student (m/f/x)
TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in Germany. Read more
An investigation of Quantum Cognition in Financial Decision Making
This project aims to investigate the application of quantum principles to financial decision-making processes. Quantum cognition, which applies the principles of quantum theory to cognitive processes, offers a novel approach to understanding the complexities and uncertainties inherent in human decision making. Read more
Cognitive performance in videogame players and esports athletes
Previous research suggests that playing action videogames, especially first-person shooters such as Counter-Strike, is related to cognitive performance, including attention, executive functions, and information processing speed (e.g., Bediou et al., 2023). Read more
PhD (f/m/x) Position on Memory and Spatial Coding in Superagers
DZNE is a world-leading, internationally oriented center for cutting-edge research into diseases of the nervous system. With its outstanding research personalities and state-of-the-art infrastructure, it offers the best conditions for publications and results at the highest level. Read more
Exploring Generative AI, Memory, and Language Understanding
Are you fascinated by the interplay between artificial intelligence, memory mechanisms, and language comprehension? Do you aspire to push the boundaries of generative models and advance our understanding of human-like cognition? We invite applications for a PhD position in the innovative field of exploring generative AI, memory, and language understanding. Read more
Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
To apply, please contact Dr Graham Sheridan at Graham.Sheridan@nottingham.ac.uk. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 18 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. Read more
