The Department of Psychology at Newcastle is broadly-based and rapidly
growing. All undergraduate courses offered by the Department are heavily
over-subscribed and the Department's postgraduate research community is the
fastest growing of any in the university. Staff have research programs in
cognitive neuroscience, behavioural ecology, and applied, occupational,
health, social and cognitive psychology. The Department is also the home of
the Neural Systems Group, an interdisciplinary centre for research in
sensory, systems, computational and cognitive neuroscience, and neural
network computing. The members of the Neural Systems Group are drawn from
the Departments of Psychology, Physiological Sciences and the School of
Neurosciences. Further details of the department and the Neural Systems
Group can be found on the WWW at
