We share a belief that transformational advances in understanding mind, brain, and behavior will occur at the boundaries of disciplines, across levels of analysis, and through a diversity of approaches, paradigms, and perspectives. Our interdisciplinary character is captured by this image, which crosses traditional areas with our cross-cutting research themes.

CoPsy department is dedicated to advancing the understanding of mind, brain, and behavior through cutting-edge research and innovative teaching. Our faculty and students actively collaborate across campus, leveraging a wealth of resources to enhance scholarly activities.

Research participation is designed to give you first-hand experience in behavioral research. By participating in research, we hope that you will gain a better understanding of how behavioral research is conducted in the laboratory and how it works from the point of view of the participant. By serving as a participant, you contribute to advancing our scientific understanding of mind, brain and behavior.

Housed in the fully-renovated and historic 36,000 square-foot Metcalf Research Building on Brown's main campus, CoPsy features state-of-the art laboratories, classrooms and formal and informal meeting spaces.
