The program is taught in English and focuses on experimental work on the neuroscience of consciousness and cognition. The Graduate Institute of Mind, Brain and Consciousness (GIMBC) conducts research at multiple levels including healthy, diseased, animal and computational work, equipped with EEG, fMRI/MRS, TMS, tDCS, SCR, VR, eye tracker, and driving simulator. Research topics span across philosophy, cognitive psychology and neuroscience, such as neuro-ethics, attention and memory, sleep, mindfulness, selfhood, circadian rhythms and mood, and social cognition. With close ties to TMU's three affiliated hospitals, GIMBC also conducts research in neurological and psychiatric populations. The grant is initially awarded for 12 months with renewal for the second year dependent upon academic success with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale.
