We partner with IU departments and programs to co-sponsor an interdisciplinary colloquium series. These events highlight the vast amount of new research in the field of neuroscience, providing additional training to graduate students in the use and development of measurement techniques and instrumentation. Undergraduates seeking information and involvement with research projects are also welcome to attend.

Our co-sponsors include the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior (CISAB); the Linda and Jack Gill Center for Biomolecular Science; the Department of Kinesiology; the School of Public Health; IU’s Cognitive Science Program; the Kinsey Institute, the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences; the Clinical Science Program; the Department of Biology, and the Vision Sciences Program in IU’s School of Optometry.
