History of the Center
The University of Chicago Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience (CCSN), the first such interdisciplinary Center, was established in 2004. Center members are about equally distributed across the Social Sciences Division and the Biological Sciences Division. New initiatives and advances in problem areas often come from interdisciplinary approaches. The particular mix of training faculty in CCSN represents a blend of science and theory that is well grounded in the past and embraces the technology and methods of the future. Accordingly, they offer a new and powerful mixture of theoretical and analytical tools with which to study complex human behavior. CCSN is committed to promoting rigorous, multi-level integrative research of complex social behavior.
