At the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development, our research focuses on human interaction and well being across the lifespan by advancing knowledge and finding sustainable solutions to the problems that matter most concerning humans and their interaction with other humans and technology.

Our uniquely diverse interdisciplinary team ranges from AI to linguistics, from developmental psychology to music.  In addition to leading edge software and hardware including AI, deep learning, avatars, robots, and wearable biotech, our researchers from cognitive science and psychology rigorously design and evaluate the human-machine or human-robot interface.  

Our expertise in Brain Sciences and Engineering is vital as healthcare, transport, security, and services become digital, automated, robotic, autonomous, augmented or virtual.
