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:
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“Creativity becomes more visible when adults try to be more attentive to the cognitive processes of children than to the results they achieve in various fields of doing and understanding.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)
“The best thing about the sciences is their philosophical ingredient, like life for an organic body. If one dephilosophizes the sciences, what remains left? Earth, air, and water.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
