Our Mission
The mission of the Connecticut Institute for the Brain and Cognitive Sciences (CT IBACS) is to serve as both a beacon and incubator for research across the brain and cognitive sciences at UConn and beyond; promoting and supporting the interdisciplinary science of the mind and its realization in biological and artificial systems.
“Anyone could, if they were so inclined, be the sculptor of their own brain.”
