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 Columbia University focuses on research in areas such as cognition, neuroscience, social psychology, and clinical psychology, providing innovative educational programs and resources.
The Department of Psychology at Kyoto University conducts scientific experiments and observations to elucidate the functions of the mind and brain mechanisms. It focuses on Perception, Comparative Cognition, and Developmental Science.
The Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota is one of the most respected and innovative psychology departments in the United States. Our mission is to advance psychological science through rigorous research, effective teaching, and community engagement to improve people's lives.We seek to be a global leader in using psychology to maximize human potential in a changing world.
