| Research Environment and Facilities | |||
| The subject of Psychology at Glasgow University brings together world-leading expertise in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, functional neuroimaging, neuropsychology and computational modeling in order to advance the understanding of behaviour and the brain. Researchers are regrouped across the School of Psychology and the Centre of Cognitive Neuroimaging (the latter in the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology). Facilities include up-to-date devices for studies into brain processes and mental activities (including visual cognition laboratories, eye-trackers, EEG labs, TMS labs, an fMRI and MEG scanner, and major computing facilities), all within one unit. We are an internationally renowned School and Centre and were ranked 7th in the most recent research assessment exercise (among all UK Universities). This leads to an excellent environment for a thriving postgraduate community and the interdisciplinary scientist. | |||
