Halloween 2021!


Congratulation to Li Xin Lim who won a 2021 Psychonomic Society Graduate Conference Award!

Li Xin Lim, a graduate student in the Mathematical and Computational Psychology graduate program was awarded a 2021 Psychonomic Society Graduate Conference Award for her poster titled "Cognitive and Physical Effort-Based Decision-Making: Comparing Effort Discounting in Choice Selection" (Abstract #1058). Come meet her at the conference in November. Congratulation Li Xin!

Congratulation to Dr. Zahra Sajedinia!

Dr. Sajedinia succesfully defended her dissertation titled "A Computational Model of Multi-Agent Creativity" in July 2021. She obtained a doctorate in Mathematical and Computational Cognitive Science from the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. We wish her the best in her future career that will no doubt have a high impact on research. Congratulation!


Dr. Hélie is interviewed for the podcast Master's in Psychology

Master's in Psychology is a podcast discussing the academic journey of people with graduate degrees in psychology. The target audience is undergraduate students who are considering applying to grad school. Learn more about Dr. Hélie's journey here.

Dr. Hélie is named Director of CEREBBRAL on 02/11/2020

Dr. Sébastien Hélie was named Director of the Center for Research onBrain, Behavior, and NeuroRehabilitation. Dr. Huber, who was co-directing the center with Dr. Hélie, will now serve as AssociateDirector of the center.

Dr. Hélie wins the 2019 Trailblazer award!

The Trailblazer Award is an annual award for mid-career faculty whose recent research, scholarship or creative work has made a significant impact in their disciplines in the College of Education, College of Liberal Arts, College of Health and Human Sciences or Purdue University Libraries.

The Purdue Center for Research on Brain, Behavior, and NeuroRehabilition (CEREBBRAL) opens on Friday 11/11/16

CEREBBRAL is a center started within the College of Health and Human Sciences (HHS) as an Area of Research Excellence.  CEREBBRAL leverages strong collaborations between basic and applied scientists across units to answer big questions about how to improve quality of life, not just extend it, and how to predict disease- and aging-related declines in large highly variable populations.

The Purdue Life Science MRI Facility opens on Friday 10/28/16

The 3T Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma scanner is dedicated to promote and meet the needs of life science research on Purdue campus. Obtained through an NIH S10 instrumentation grant, this scanner will be used amongst others for studies requiring long-term stability (e.g. longitudinal studies), studies benefitting from the existing high gradient system or the 64-channel head coil for ultra-fast and high-resolution imaging, or for studies benefitting from the synchronized physiological monitoring and triggering for fMRI. An MRI Physicist will be available to help with protocol development and optimization, and a part-time MR Technologist is available to help with professional data acquisition. [Website]
