The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences focuses on understanding the neural, cognitive, and behavioral foundations of human cognition and mental health.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences is a world leader in research on the brain, cognition, and behavior. The department integrates cutting-edge experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to study cognition and mental health. The mission of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences is to reverse engineer the brain in order to understand the mind. To do that we delve deeply into the mechanisms of the brain at all levels: molecules, synapses, neurons, circuits, algorithms, human behavior, cognition, and everything in between. To sustain and advance this mission, we offer undergraduate programs in Brain and Cognitive Sciences (Course 9) and Computation and Cognition (Course 6-9, in cooperation with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) in order to train the next generation of scientific leaders.
The Psychology department at the University of Edinburgh was established in 1906 by the estate of George Combe. The first permanent post was known as the Combe lectureship in General and Experimental Psychology. The first incumbent, Dr W.G. Smith, was a PhD student of Wilhelm Wundt, a founding father of modern psychology. The second incumbent, James Drever, became the first Professor of Psychology in Scotland. After a philosophically oriented start, the appointment of a biologist, Professor D.M. Vowles, as chair in 1968 saw psychology develop strongly as a scientific discipline. The department was incorporated into the School of Philosophy, Psychology, & Language Sciences in 2003. We currently have around forty members of academic staff spanning all major areas of academic psychology: cognition, development, individual differences, neuroscience, and social psychology. We offer both undergraduate and postgraduate training, including several taught and research Masters, and PhDs.
The Institute of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy (ICPP) at TU Dresden is a leading institution in the field of clinical psychology and psychological intervention research, linked to the Faculty of Psychology and the School of Science.
The Department of Psychology at ULM is committed to providing high-quality education and research in psychology. Our goal is to help students and researchers gain a deep understanding of human behavior and mental processes through scientific methods, cultivating professionals in psychology with critical thinking and research capabilities for society.
