Check out matlab for neuroscientists you can probably skip the first couple of chapters as they deal with the very basics. The later chapters get into more specific subjects, designing experiments, and analysis techniques. They even provide datasets online for you to play with. I hope that helps!
I recommend Eysenck and Keane's Cognitive Psychology. Don't let the name fool you, it contains a whole lot of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.
The reasons I think it is great is because it gives you different disciplinary perspectives on cognition and because it's written almost in the style of a review in a journal. It's not just a list of facts and figures with some review questions tacked on, but a critical review of different theories and the research both supporting and contradicting them.
I just finished my Masters and this book helped me enormously with Matlab, which I used to program my dissertation project experiment.
It goes into some depth, but also takes you step-by-step through a few basic psychophysics experiment scripts, so sounds like it'd be right up your street.
