Research on brain mechanisms of emotion, motivation, learning and memory are currently being performed in this facility. Additional laboratory space for ongoing field research is located in a second off-campus facility. A second floor of the Psychology building is devoted to research with human subjects. Current research is focused on psychophysiology of sleep, biofeedback, neural networks, sensation and perception and cognitive processes. The neuroscience curriculum has been designed to give a broad training in the sciences with sufficient flexibility to accomodate the special interests of the student.
Students are able to major in Neuroscience.
The doctoral program in Psychology with a specialization in Behavioral Neuroscience places an emphasis on developing both theoretical and experimental skills in the neurosciences. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the graduate program is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the varied interests of students. Students and faculty work closely together to design a curriculum that meets the needs of the student. The Behavioral Neuroscience program has established close ties with the Cognitive and Clinical Psychology specialty programs, the Biological Sciences department at BGSU, and the College of Pharmacy at the University of Toledo.
