Mission statement

Cognitive and Brain Sciences are a basic component of any academic w88 casino games login in psychology. The Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login is committed to quality training of students at the graduate and undergraduate levels and the production of high quality research. It is our goal to offer foundational courses and training in the broad field of Cognitive and Brain Sciences along with specialized training in focus areas represented by our faculty research. We strive to train our students to become researchers and/or teachers applying the most effective and cutting edge techniques and technologies for the analysis and measurement of human behavior and neural activity with the goal of furthering our theoretical understanding of the neural basis of the human mind. Our faculty members maintain active research laboratories that provide fertile environments for graduate and undergraduate students to participate and learn about the research process. It is our purpose to provide masters and doctoral graduate students with extensive background in several basic areas of research, to train them so that they can plan and execute original research in the field and expose them, 'in depth' to a concentrated area of research. These actions are intended to prepare our graduates to be viable candidates for academic and non-academic positions.

Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login

The Graduate w88 casino games login in Cognitive and Brain Sciences offers programs of study leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. Students are given a strong foundation in current theory and methods and have the opportunity to specialize within a number of substantive research areas that include brain organization in developmental disabilities, comparative and developmental vision, cognitive neuroscience, memory, perception, vestibular control and movement, human factors in aviation, attention, face recognition, consciousness and neuropsychology.

The Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login has collaborative links with several other departments on campus, including Biology, Medicine, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering. Many of the w88 casino games login faculty members also maintain close working links with colleagues and research labs at other universities. Each faculty member is also a part of the w88 casino games login in Neuroscience, which provides additional connections between Psychology graduate faculty and those in other departments. Neuroscience degrees are awarded through both the Departments of Psychology and Biology.

Students entering the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login begin their research training in the lab of a primary faculty advisor who is expected to supervise the student’s research throughout their time in the w88 casino games login. In addition to research, students complete a series of foundation courses, usually in the first two years in statistics, perception, cognition, memory, comparative psychology, and physiological psychology. These courses prepare the students for the comprehensive exam at the end of their second year. In subsequent years, a wide variety of seminars and independent study options are available for pursuing students´ areas of interest.

Admission and general degree requirements

All forms mentioned below can be found at theforms w88 online live casino.

In order to qualify for admission, a candidate must have earned a baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution along with a minimum GPA of 3.0 for the doctoral degree and 2.75 for the Master&w88 casino games login;s degree. An undergraduate major in Psychology is not required for admission. The Graduate School does not have a foreign language requirement for either the Masters degree or the Doctoral degree. Visit the pagefor more detailed instructions on completing and submitting an application.

In order for an application to be considered complete, applicants should submit a (1) CV, (2) a statement of goals and interests including a list of desired faculty advisors, (3) official transcripts of all prior course work from all institutions that have been attended, (4) three letters of recommendation, and (5) GRE scores from an exam taken within the last five years.

General requirements w88 casino games login Graduate School

Please note, courses listed should serve as an example. Please refer to your advisor and theUniversity catalogfor the current requirements.

Master&w88 casino games login;s degree requirements

Minimum 30 w88 casino games login total (18 @ 700+)

  • A minimum of 24 course w88 casino games login must be taken for the master’s degree

These w88 casino games login can include classes, grad research, individual reading, and comp w88 casino games login*

  • 6 thesis w88 casino games login (Psy 797) must also be taken

* Note: These are the requirements of the Graduate School. As noted below, the requirements of the CBS w88 casino games login differ and in the case of the minimum credits required, the 24 course credits need to be satisfied by completing 15 credits of Foundation Courses and 9 Credits of Methods Courses.

Ph.D. requirements

Minimum 72 w88 casino games login total (30 @ 700+)

  • 24 (18 @ 700+) course credits from your University master’s degree can be transferred toward your Ph.D. Students entering with a master’s degree will have to determine how many credits will be allowed to transfer from their previous university. This is usually left to the discretion of the w88 casino games login Director and the student’s primary advisor.
  • 24 additional course w88 casino games login must also be taken (possibly more if you are entering with a masters from another institution, see item 1). These w88 casino games login can include any class w88 casino games login, grad research w88 casino games login, individual reading w88 casino games login, and comp w88 casino games login.
  • 24 Dissertation (Psy 799) w88 casino games login must also be

Additional Important tips from previous graduate w88 casino games login:

  • Follow the degree requirement above when completing your Master’s Degree POS form.The Master’s Degree POS form asks you to fill in the courses you have completed. If you list all of the courses you have taken so far, including those that you plan to apply to your Ph.D. only 24 w88 casino games login will transfer. For example, if you listed 42 (including 6 thesis w88 casino games login) w88 casino games login on your Master’s POS, you will lose 12 w88 casino games login that you could have used toward your D. requirements.
  • Certain course numbers have maximum credit allotments. Once you reach the maximum for that course number you will not be able to count additional w88 casino games login taken under the same number toward your degree. These maximums include:
    • Psy 761 = 6 w88 casino games login
    • Psy 762 = 6 w88 casino games login
    • Psy 763 = 9 w88 casino games login
    • Psy 755 (Individual Reading) = 9 w88 casino games login Psy 752/753 (grad research) = 6 w88 casino games login

Academic standing

Students entering the Masters Degree w88 casino games login are expected to complete the degree within 2-4 years of the date of matriculation, and no later than 6 years from this date. Students entering the Ph.D. w88 casino games login are expected to complete the Ph.D. Degree within 4-6 years after matriculation (3-5 years for those students entering the w88 casino games login with a Masters Degree in Psychology), and no later than 8 years from this date. These deadlines are set by the Graduate School. Note, the deadlines for maintaining satisfactory progress in the w88 casino games login may be less lenient (Please see “Timeline for Completion” below).

w88 casino games login who register for 9 credits or more are considered as full-time w88 casino games login. w88 casino games login receiving funding either through Research or Teaching Assistantships are considered full-time w88 casino games login if they register for 6 or more credits. To remain in “good standing” all graduate w88 casino games login must register for at least 3 graduate-level credits during each fall and spring semester until graduation. There are no minimum registration requirements during the summer.

However, graduate assistants with summer assignments must register for at least one graduate-level credit during each regular summer session to be exempt from FICA.

Students are expected to earn A's and B’s in all graduate courses. A student whose overall graduate GPA falls below is placed on probation, and if the overall GPA remains below 0 for two consecutive semesters, the student is dropped from graduate standing. A student may reapply for graduate standing by achieving an overall graduate GPA of at least 3.0. In the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login, a grade of C or worse in any course is sufficient cause for review of the student’s continuation in the w88 casino games login.

Graduate School Academic Standing and w88 casino Policy

Lab participation and w88 casino games login

Research experience is accomplished through participation in the student’s advisor’s research lab. All faculty members have active, ongoing research programs and w88 casino games login are expected to participate in laboratory experiences in connection with these labs throughout their entire training. Regular attendance at primary (and secondary, if applicable) lab meetings is mandatory.

Students participate in an individual faculty member’s lab as their primary lab placement. Students are expected to join a laboratory as a first course of action once they arrive at UNR. Students who enter the w88 casino games login without an advisor will be assigned one to facilitate the initiation of a research project. Participation in a lab occurs by mutual agreement between the student and faculty member. Shortly after starting in the w88 casino games login, students will begin their 1styear research project, the progress and results of which are to be presented at the end w88 casino games login 1styear as part of the Cognitive and Brain Sciences Spring research symposium. Presentations are in the form of the 10-15minute conference-style research talk. In subsequent years, more senior graduate w88 casino games login are expected to present the progress and results of their research at the Cognitive and Brain Sciences Winter research Colloquia.

w88 casino games login may also request to participate in research in other labs if they should desire.

Masters requirements

Masters degree requirements

In order to earn a Masters Degree through the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login, students must complete:

  • Required coursework
  • The Master&w88 casino games login;s Comprehensive Exam
  • A research project that is written in the form of a Master&w88 casino games login;s Thesis
  • A defense w88 casino games login Master’s Thesis in a public talk and private oral

Upon completion of these requirements the w88 casino games login must submit the necessary paperwork with the University Graduate School.

These four requirements are described in detail as follows:

Course requirements

Students earning a Masters Degree must complete a minimum of 30 credits of acceptable graduate course work (courses with grades of “C” or lower will not be counted) as approved by the student’s advisory-examining committee and the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login Director. These 30 credits must include a set of 5 Foundation courses (15 credits) in appropriate subject areas, and a set of 3 Development courses (9 credits) and Masters Thesis Research: Psy 797 (6 Credits). One of the Development courses must be Psy706: Intermediate Statistics. At least 21 of these 30 credits must be earned in on-campus courses at the University and a minimum of 18 total credits of course work must be taken at the 700-level.

In addition to the required 30 credits described above, students are also required to enroll in at least 1 but not more than 3 credits of Psy 795 to prepare for the Master’s Comprehensive Exam. In order for students to qualify for a Teaching Assistant position, they must enroll in GRAD 701S. This short course should be taken prior to performing any teaching or Teaching Assistant duties and is usually offered during the student orientation period prior to the start of the Fall Semester. No credit is offered for the completing this short course. In addition, students receiving funding as a Teaching Assistant may also be required to complete a 3 credit course in teaching skills offered through the Excellence in Teaching w88 casino games login. Students can also enroll in up to 6 credits of PSY 752 (Graduate Research) and up to 9 Credits of PSY 755 (Individual Reading). These credits cannot be used toward the 30 credit requirement for the M.A. degree.

Students entering with an M.A. in another field may substitute equivalent graduate courses from another institution to satisfy parts of this requirement. The applicability of transfer credits is determined by the w88 casino games login faculty and requires approval by the w88 casino games login director.

Examples of Foundation Courses Include:

  • Psy 709: Comparative Sensory Neuroscience Psy 720: Sensation and Perception
  • Psy 721: Advanced Psychophysiology Psy 729: Human Memory

Topical seminars are also offered through the following course numbers, which upon approval w88 casino games login Cognitive and Brain Sciences Director, can also be taken to satisfy the 5-course foundation requirement:

  • Psy 761 or 762: Contemporary Issues in Psychology (maximum of 6 w88 casino games login each) Psy 763: Special Topics in Cognitive and Brain Sciences (maximum of 9 w88 casino games login)

In addition to the two required Methods courses, w88 casino games login must also complete at least one further lab-oriented methods or statistics course. Current examples of these courses include:

  • Psy 627: Applications of Computer Programming
  • Psy 707: Intermediate Statistics II (or Math 757)
  • Psy 710: Experimental Design
  • Psy 780: Advanced Human Psychophysiology Lab
  • Psy 761-763 (special topics) courses may also be used, upon approval w88 casino games login Cognitive and Brain Sciences Director, to satisfy the Development course requirements if their content is appropriate. Examples of such special topic courses include 761: fMRI Methods and Approaches, 762: Graduate Writing and 763: Professional Development.

The Master&w88 casino games login;s Comprehensive Exam

The M.A. Comprehensive Examination shall be taken at the end of the Spring semester during the second year of study. w88 casino games login failing to complete this requirement will undergo a review by the CBS faculty and will remain ineligible to teach summer classes.

This examination is designed to assess the student’s foundational knowledge the Cognitive and Brain Sciences. The take home, open-book exam is given over the course of 1-week. The exam will include 5 topical areas administered by the w88 casino games login faculty and would normally correspond to the areas represented by the 5 Foundation courses the student has elected to take. Each assigned question (1-3 per topical area) should be answered in ~3-5 pages of double-spaced text with appropriate referencing. All questions will be assigned to the student at 10AM on the start day of the exam and will be turned in by 10AM on the seventh day following. For example, for an exam that starts at 10AM on a Monday, the answers will be due by 10AM the following Monday.

Areas covered on the exam may include but are not limited to:

  • Perception
  • Memory
  • Cognition
  • Psychophysiology
  • Cognition
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuropsychology
  • Evolutionary Psychology

Students should consult the Director of the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login for more details concerning the examination for any given year. Each question on the exam is scored on a 5-point scale. The student must average a minimum of 2.75 to pass and satisfy the requirement for earning a Master’s Degree. A student who does not pass on the first try may, on approval of the w88 casino games login faculty, be given one opportunity to retake the entire exam on the next occasion it is administered. The following interpretations of the grading scale are used (although a 5-point scale is normally used, a reader may assign a score of “0” for “no response” or a totally irrelevant answer):

  • 5 – Excellent: best or nearly best possible answer
  • 4 – Very Good: more than sufficient quality to pass
  • 3 – Acceptable: Minimum level for passing at the Ph.D. qualifying level
  • 2 – Unsatisfactory: quality of answer falls short w88 casino games login minimum passing standard
  • 1 - Failure – answer below expectations for graduate w88 casino games login

Note 1: Students may substitute one seminar course from outside the w88 casino games login as part of their 5-course foundation requirement. The substituted course must be approved by both the student's advisor and w88 casino games login director. Thus if a foundation course is substituted then the outside instructor must be willing to contribute and grade one section of the MA comprehensive exam based on their subject area.

Note 2: An individual faculty member can provide only one section w88 casino games login MA comprehensive exam.

Master&w88 casino games login;s thesis

The Master’s thesis is overseen by an advisory-examining committee made up of at least three members of the University graduate faculty. Two faculty members who represent the student’s area of specialization and one faculty member is selected from the University “at-large.” The research underlying the master's thesis is to be supervised by a faculty member in the Cognitive and Brain Sciences and is to be evaluated by a second faculty reader in the CBS w88 casino games login. These two faculty members serve as the two members of the committee who represent the student’s area of specialization. In addition the committee must include one faculty outside of the Department of Psychology to represent the University "at large’. Additional members of the committee can be added. Thesis research involving human subjects or animals must be approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Nevada, Reno, prior to data collection.

Upon completion w88 casino games login Thesis Research, the background and significance, methods and analyses, results and discussion w88 casino games login project shall be written in the form of a Master’s Thesis. Alternatively, upon unanimous approval w88 casino games login advisory examining committee a 1st-authored manuscript describing the Thesis Research that has been submitted or accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal may substituted for the Thesis document and satisfy the Thesis requirement for earning the Master’s Degree. The primary grounds for denying approval for this alternative would be instances in which the student has received substantive collaborative contributions to the writing w88 casino games login submitted/accepted manuscript.

Master&w88 casino games login;s thesis defense and examination

The Master’s defense starts with a public one-hour talk on the applicant’s research given to faculty and graduate students in the w88 casino games login and the committee. This talk should be treated as a “job talk” in which the student highlights the importance and significance of the work for an informed but general audience. Following this presentation, the committee meets with the student for the oral exam during which tie the student is questioned about the theoretical and empirical approaches and implications of their thesis research. The satisfaction of this requirement to earn the Master’s degree depends on the unanimous approval of the advisory-examining committee.

Upon completion of the above requirements, w88 casino games login must apply for graduation and submit the necessary documents to the Graduate School in order to receive the degree.

Doctoral requirements

In order to earn a Ph.D. through the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login, students must complete the following:

  • Satisfy all the requirements w88 casino games login Master’s Degree
  • Required coursework
  • The Ph.D. comprehensive Exam
  • A w88 casino games login project that is written in the form of a dissertation
  • A defense w88 casino games login dissertation research in a public talk and private oral
  • The publication of at least one first-authored, peer-reviewed manuscript

Upon completion of these requirements the w88 casino games login must submit the necessary paperwork with the University graduate school.

Satisfying all the requirements w88 casino games login Master’s Degree

For the Ph.D. Degree, w88 casino games login are required to have obtained a Masters Degree either from the University of Nevada, or upon approval of the Cognitive and Brain Sciences Director, another accredited institution. Prospective and current Ph.D. w88 casino games login should carefully review the Master’s requirements detailed above.

Required coursework

A minimum of 72 credits is required for the Ph.D. Degree (courses with grades of “C” or lower will not be counted). At least 48 of these credits must be in course work as approved by the student’s advisory-examining committee and the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login Director. Students are required to take 24 credits for dissertation research (Psy 799). A student may apply up to 24 credits with grades of B or better from post-baccalaureate graduate studies in Psychology toward the doctoral degree. A minimum of 30 of the 48 credits of course work must be at the 700 level. Since not all 600-level psychology graduate courses will be accepted for the M.A. or Ph.D. degrees, students need advance approval for any 600-level courses taken in psychology, and for any graduate courses taken in related disciplines outside of psychology. The advance approval must come from the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login faculty. As noted above, students may also be required to complete a 3 credit course in teaching skills offered through the Excellence in Teaching w88 casino games login. These credits cannot be used toward the 72 credit requirement for the Ph.D. degree in the w88 casino games login. However, students may register for Graduate Research (Psy 752) with a maximum of 6 credits and Individual Reading (755), with a maximum of 9 credits. These credits can be used to fulfill degree requirements.

Ph.D. qualifying exam

There is no separate exam to qualify for candidacy to the doctoral degree.In order to satisfy this requirement, students must pass the Master’s Comprehensive Exam with a minimum average score of 3.0. Thus, for a student entering the w88 casino games login with a Master’s degree, passing the Master’s Comprehensive Exam with a minimum average score of 3.0 qualifies them for candidacy to the doctoral degree. For a student entering the w88 casino games login without a Master’s degree, passing the Master’s Comprehensive Exam with a minimum average score of 3.0, both satisfies the requirement to earn the Master’s degree and qualifies them for candidacy to the doctoral degree.

Dissertation

Dissertation research is overseen by a advisory-examining committee made up of at least five members of the University graduate faculty: the committee Chair (advisor), at least two graduate faculty members from Psychology, at least one graduate faculty member in a field related to the student’s major area of concentration, and at least one graduate faculty member representing the University “at large.” This committee must approve the student’s w88 casino games login of studies, accept the proposal for the dissertation, and conduct the final oral examination. Doctoral dissertations involving either human subjects or animals must be approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Nevada, Reno prior to the collection of data of any kind. This approval is contingent upon the approval of the student’s dissertation proposal.

Dissertation proposals will be in the form w88 casino games login research proposal portion of an NIH grant application (e.g. NRSA) and should include a literature review and discussion w88 casino games login proposed research questions and the methods and design that will be used to address them. There are no page limitations to the proposal. Proposals must be defended in a one-hour public talk and private oral examination and approved by the student’s Ph.D. committee prior to the start of data collection and at least one semester prior to the date w88 casino games login final defense w88 casino games login dissertation.

The completed dissertation consists of a written document describing the background and significance, methods and analyses, results and discussion w88 casino games login dissertation project and must be formatted as required by the Graduate School. The dissertation can include published or submitted papers in peer-reviewed journal articles as chapters. The contents w88 casino games login written dissertation must be drawn from the dissertation proposal. Satisfaction of this requirement requires the unanimous approval w88 casino games login dissertation advisory committee, which is typically granted following the Dissertation Defense and Oral Examination.

Dissertation defense and oral examination

The dissertation defense shall be in the form of a one-hour talk that is open to the public. The student must submit a draft w88 casino games login written dissertation to their advisory-committee at least two weeks prior to the defense. It is the student’s obligation to post a department-wide notice w88 casino games login defense two weeks prior to its occurrence. After the public presentation, the student and the committee will convene for the oral examination, which will consist of a question period and evaluation. Satisfaction of this requirement requires the unanimous approval w88 casino games login dissertation advisory committee and typically requires revision to the dissertation.

Dissertation proposal meetings and defenses may not be conducted in the absence of a member w88 casino games login dissertation committee without prior approval w88 casino games login committee members.

Publication of at least one first-authored, peer-reviewed manuscript

In order to satisfy the requirements of the Ph.D. w88 casino games login, the student must have published a first-authored, peer-reviewed manuscript in an area-appropriate journal during their time in the CBS w88 casino games login. While commonly the case, the manuscript need not be related to either the Master’s thesis or dissertation project. Exceptions require the unanimous approval of the Dissertation Committee and the w88 casino games login Director.

Upon completion of the above requirements, w88 casino games login must apply for graduation and submit the necessary documents to the Graduate School in order to receive the degree.

Expected timeline of completion

Students will be expected to progress through the w88 casino games login by the following deadlines; failure to meet any deadline requires a w88 casino games login review and director approval and may result in probationary status and loss of funding

Evaluation of progress

Yearly reports/evaluations

  1. Student report - At the end of each year w88 casino games login will submit a report form describing what has been accomplished that
  2. Advisor review – Each advisor will write a letter indicating whether the person is making: Excellent, Satisfactory, or Unsatisfactory progress in coursework and w88 casino games login.
    1. Two years of Unsatisfactory progress could be grounds for dismissal.
    2. w88 casino games login will not be allowed to proceed to PhD candidacy unless satisfactory progress is made.

Conflict resolution and academic discipline

One of the outstanding characteristics of the w88 casino games login is its collegial atmosphere. A conscious effort is made to maintain this valuable quality. It is expected that conflicts between students and faculty will invariably occur involving issues of education, task expectations, and interpersonal differences. One of the difficulties in resolving conflicts is the power differential between faculty and students. Every effort is made to treat students as junior colleagues, thus reducing the power differential and leading to more openness and candor. The development of holistic relationships, i.e., going beyond narrow academic roles - between faculty and students - increases the amount of interpersonal interaction and reduces the distance between students and faculty. Students are encouraged to work out conflicts among themselves and with faculty in order to enhance the overall learning atmosphere. Within the structure of the w88 casino games login, a process has been developed to deal with conflicts, particularly between faculty and students.

The steps are as follows:

  • Conflict is recognized by either party involved.
  • Attempts are made by the two parties involved to resolve the conflict with as much direct communication as possible, or at least to mutually recognize that a conflict exists.
  • If the conflict cannot be resolved, the two parties involved will select one student and one faculty member (who are not involved) to serve as negotiators in the conflict.
  • A meeting is held with the two parties, the two negotiators, and the w88 casino games login director. Meetings will continue until the conflict is resolved.
