In the Department of Psychology, we conduct scientific experiments and observations with the aim of elucidating the functions of the mind and their underlying brain mechanisms. Three main fields comprise our research and educational pursuits: Perception, Comparative Cognition, and Developmental Science. Together, these interrelated fields offer students the opportunity to gain both broad and specialised knowledge in these core areas of psychology.

We participate in Kyoto University Psychological Science Unit for a wider range of collaborations on research and education.
