Behavioural Science Institute  is a multidisciplinary behavioural research institute. Our researchers collaborate across the boundaries of psychology, educational science, and communication science. BSI has seven research programmes covering three major research themes: 1) development and learning, 2) psychopathology, health and well-being, and 3) social processes and communication. The Institute conducts fundamental as well as applied/translational research.

Our seven programmes are:

• BCW – Behaviour Change and Well-Being
• CM – Communication and Media
• DP – Developmental Psychopathology
• EPT – Experimental Psychopathology and Treatment
• LP – Learning and Plasticity
• SD – Social Development
• WHP – Work Health and Performance

BSI has state-of-the-art research facilities for observational studies, experiments, eye-tracking studies, EEG and other physiological measures, and behavioural measurements in real and 3D virtual environments. The neuroimaging facilities of the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG and TMS) are available for research on the neural bases of behaviour.
