Mission
The Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience (PSSN) program aims to facilitate cross-disciplinary, collaborative research to advance our understanding of mind, brain, and behavior. The program fosters, and independently funds, direct communication and knowledge sharing between experts in the arts, humanities, and natural and social sciences; thus creating a new paradigm for interdisciplinary university-sponsored research.
