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 Department of Psychology at North Carolina State University addresses major behavioral and social issues through innovative research and teaching. It aims to advance the science and practice of psychology and prepare the next generation of scholars.
Psychology is a remarkably broad field that studies mind and behavior at all levels of analysis ranging from the micro to the macro; from single cells to complex systems; from individuals to groups and cultures; and from invertebrates to humans. Our department is committed to research, teaching/mentorship, and service. We have over 1,000 undergraduate majors and enroll approximately 100 graduate students in our Ph.D. programs. Graduate students have an unusually high success rate in securing external funding, and we have an excellent track record for placing them following their Ph.D.s.
The School of Psychology at the University of Queensland offers psychological assessment and therapy services to the public, with a focus on high-quality teaching and research.
