Brain and cognitive sciences
What is special about the neurosciences at MIT? It’s the people in our departments and in our institutes: a community of world-class researchers investigating various aspects of the brain, mind, learning, and memory, and making MIT an ideal setting for innovation.
The Institute’s existing activities in the neurosciences include:
The brain and cognitive sciences complex, the facility that houses these centers, opened in late 2005. More than a dozen new faculty are being recruited to join the effort, and a new interdisciplinary graduate Neuroscience Fellows program is set to be a cornerstone of the initiative.
School of Science priorities in the area of brain and cognitive sciences include:
- The brain and cognitive sciences complex, with naming opportunities ranging from $1 million to $30 million
- Endowed professorships, ranging from $1.25 million to $3 million each
- The Neuroscience Fellows program—five-year seed funding
- Named Fellows—$50,000 annual support
- Research, where all levels of expendable support are needed
