CBCS
The Centre of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences (CBCS) was formally set up in 2002 as a ‘Centre with Potential for Excellence’ by the University Grants Commission (UGC). CBCS is the first institution to start a Master’s program in Cognitive Science in India. Several batches of Master’s and PhD students have graduated (260+) till date. Research takes center stage at CBCS, with faculty and students in a relentless quest of exploring new frontiers and consolidating existing ones. Primary areas of research include attention, time perception, meditation, consciousness, emotion, cognitive control, cognitive development, neuroaesthetics, language, bilingualism, consumer behaviour, memory, and decision making, using behavioural experimentation, EEG/ERP, eye movements, and fMRI.
