Psychology and Neuroscience Seminar Series
Overview
Each year, the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience hosts a seminar series in which experts in the field of Psychology and/or Neuroscience present their research. Seminars are typically 50 minutes and are followed by a brief discussion. Coffee and snacks are available before the seminar, and afterward there is a light reception.
