The MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour, and Development has led advances in our understanding of how the human brain develops across the lifespan and how it responds to visual, auditory, sensory and technological stimulus. Our mission is to understand and optimise the brain wherever we are in our life. Our research makes a difference whether it be unlocking creativity, helping people process inf
ormation and make effective decisions under stressful conditions, improving learning outcomes or detecting and treating brain disorders and diseases earlier. We invest in state-of-the-art laboratories, performance spaces and equipment, and we bring together psychologists, linguists, engineers, biologists, performers, and cognitive neuroscientists to collaborate with partners across health, defence, policy, data sciences, and the arts. Our location in Western Sydney and the breadth of expertise we draw from, ensures our research is reflective of culturally and linguistically diverse communities, as well as people with a broad range of cognitive and physical abilities.
