Behavioural Neuroscience

Behavioural neuroscience research uses a broad range of scientific techniques to link the operation of the brain and its sensory organs to behavioural states. The research generally uses human models, both clinical and non-clinical—though reference can be made to non-human species as well. The techniques that are used span from neuro-imaging to the psychophysical measurement of perception.
