Frontiers in Mind, Brain & Behavior
Our mind, brain and behavior initiative investigates one of the greatest current scientific challenges—how the human mind work and its functions. Innovative research focuses on attention, memory and information processing; hearing and language; and vision and perception. Findings impact the scientific understanding of diseases and disorders including Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia and autism, to name a few.
Centers, departments and programs involved in accomplishing these goals include:
