The Division of Psychology at Karolinska Institutet conducts research and education in the field of psychology. It explores the science of human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how these components interact. The division is involved in various research projects and frequently organizes seminars. The Division of Psychology at Karolinska Institute offers a range of educational programs and research opportunities in psychology, focusing on mental health, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology.
Faculty in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College synergistically blend behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and psychological science approaches to address questions at the core of the human experience. As psychologists and neuroscientists, we seek to understand basic functions such as memory, emotion, visual perception, social interaction, development and learning, and problem solving and creativity, and to shed light on how these functions are altered in psychopathology, developmental disorders, or neurological disorders. Faculty in our department approach these topics from multiple, converging levels, using assessments of individual behavior, dynamic group interactions, and investigations of the neural processes and computations that give rise to behavior.
In the Psychology Department at Lehigh, we aspire to cultivate a community of learners dedicated to the common goal of understanding human thought, emotion, and behavior. We aspire to ensure that every individual feels welcome and that every individual is supported in the process of realizing their potential.
