The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences brings together innovative research, student training, and community outreach in a climate that fosters collaboration and learning.
The school’s mission is to study the biology and psychology of thought and language, development and aging, social interaction, and perception in healthy adults and children both in illness and health. Through this work, we aim to enhance the health, education, and quality of life of adults and children, their families and their communities. This is accomplished with fundamental investigation of brain and behavior, and applied research in remediation and compensation, including the use of advanced technology.
