Center For Neural and Cognitive Sciences
The Center for Neural and Cognitive Sciences is an interdisciplinary research center focusing upon the areas of linguistic cognition and cognitive systems. A truly interdisciplinary center, it brings together Faculty and researchers from various disciplines such as physics, linguistics, computer science, neurobiology and philosophy to ponder upon the nature of cognition. Within the short span of its existence the center has received considerable international attention. The Center is in the process of setting up a well-equipped laboratory with supercomputing, ERP/EEG, invivo elelctrophysiology and eye-tracking equipment, and offers research programs in neural and cognitive sciences at the M.Phil. and Doctoral levels. The Center has been offering post-graduate courses at the interface of linguistics, philosophy and neurosciences for students majoring in the sciences and the humanities. It has received generous assistance from the University Grants Commission towards major research projects and infrastructural facilities under their Innovative Programs Scheme. The Center is on the network of the National Initiative of the Department of Science and Technology on Cognitive Science Research and has received substantial grants from them.
Central is providing M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes in an interdisciplinary manner.

Famous quotes containing the words center, cognitive and/or sciences:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Realism holds that things known may continue to exist unaltered when they are not known, or that things may pass in and out of the cognitive relation without prejudice to their reality, or that the existence of a thing is not correlated with or dependent upon the fact that anybody experiences it, perceives it, conceives it, or is in any way aware of it.”
—William Pepperell Montague (1842–1910)
“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
