SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind

The Center integrates a wide range of scholarly endeavors and technologies in the humanities, social sciences and the sciences. These will include, for example, the metaphysics and the philosophy of the mind; methodologies in the social and behavioral sciences; and the relatively recent tools that have been developed in the sciences such as functional neuro-imaging, genetic techniques, computational modeling and immersive virtual environment technology.

The key to the success of the SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind is the unique inter-disciplinary culture of UC Santa Barbara. For a variety of reasons, the academic and teaching climate is unusually free of barriers to collaboration, and the faculty and administration strongly encourage and support work across academic fields.
