Interdisciplinary Neuroscience
Interdisciplinary neuroscience explores the relationship between our brains and behavior from multiple perspectives, including psychology, biology, speech and hearing sciences, social science, systems science, direct community engagement and the arts. Memory, attention, perception, language, feeling, and decision-making in social contexts all depend on brain structure and function. People in this field examine how the underlying physiology of the nervous system relates to individuals’ psychological and behavioral processes.
Those with training in interdisciplinary neuroscience can pursue a variety of careers. Many individuals, particularly with graduate training, may conduct research in both laboratory and clinical settings, and work in academic, business, healthcare, art and policy-making environments.
