Mission Statement

Our strategic vision for the Center is to forge synergies with other subdisciplines of psychological sciences as well as other cognate disciplines within the University. The Center will act as a catalyst for providing the unique mechanistic insights that cognition and neuroscience can offer into the understanding of behaviour and decision-making in a variety of contexts.

Discussion

Create the intellectual space to enable open discussion and debate regarding how our research can become more relevant for understanding the role and mechanisms of decision-making in the context of timely societal issues.

Neuroimaging Training

Facilitate training in functional neuroimaging for colleagues active in the psychological sciences who may not have expertise in neuroscience-related methods.

Collaboration

Capitalise on the expertise and breadth of our neuroimaging researchers to attract colleagues from our department and a variety of others to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Diversify Funding

Diversify our research funding sources and increase our research income for functional neuroimaging research.

Awareness

Highlight the social impact of our research by raising awareness more broadly and engage non-academic partners in this endeavour.

Seminar Series

Host cross-disciplinary seminars that present diverse methods and perspectives on decision-making across a range of contexts.
