Hello all,

I'm currently a year away from getting my BS in Electrical Engineering, and I need some recommendations for graduate school. My main interest is in theoretical neuroscience, and cognitive (brain) modeling. Unfortunately, however, there is little money out there for AI. As such, I've decided to get my MS in EE or CS, while doing research (and possibly my thesis) on artificial intelligence/brain modeling.

I'm looking for a school with a decent EE/CS program, but that also has a good med school and is doing prominent research in theoretical neuroscience. I know this narrows my options quite a bit, and I'm having a hard time finding any schools. I am not limited to the states, so European (English speaking, preferably) options are welcome.

Thanks for the help!

-Dylan
