Together, MIT’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences offers extraordinary learning opportunities for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students.

Students also benefit from the fact that now is one of the most exciting times in history to be involved in the field of brain and cognitive science. Recent advances in diverse fields such as biology, physics, chemistry and engineering have greatly advanced our understanding of neuroscience. As a result, for perhaps the first time, we have the tools we need to derive meaningful answers that address our most profound questions about how the human brain works.
