Our Research Areas
A great diversity of research areas exists in PNB, with a common theme of studying animal and human behaviour, cognition, and perception. Internationally recognized strengths in the department include Music Cognition, Evolutionary Psychology/Animal Behaviour, and Developmental Psychology and we are growing our current strengths in Neuroscience. The highly diverse research environment in our department positions us to conduct multidisciplinary and translational research.
