| No one knows how brain processes produce mental processes - how what is happening in your brain as you read these words produces the comprehension you are experiencing. Insights will come only through the interdisciplinary efforts of brain scientists, psychologists, clinicians and engineers whose efforts will ultimately provide effective prevention and treatment of mental and neurological disorders and the development of new engineering applications such as prosthetic devices and autonomous robots. The Center for Integrative & Cognitive Neuroscience fosters symbiosis and serendipity among groups of investigators across the Vanderbilt University campus with no less a goal than to push back the last great frontier in modern science. We believe that learning how the brain produces thought and emotion will herald a change in humanities conception of our place in the universe akin to that brought about by Copernicus and Darwin.
The Center builds on recognized strength in neuroscience research, training and education in the College of Arts & Science, the Peabody School of Education, the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine |
