We, humans having the universe in mind,
explore and reflect on the nature of mind.

The mission of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences in KAIST is to study the brain to understand the mind and to provide with technological and medical solutions that will help create a better world. We deeply explore the mechanisms of the brain at every level from molecules to neurons to circuits to algorithms to behavior and examine links across these levels. Our department aims to cultivate the next generation of scientific leaders at the forefront of brain and cognitive sciences as well as social and corporate leaders who will bring sustainable happiness and high quality of life to our society.
