Application Procedure

Most of our students apply to the Institute for Neuroscience and obtain a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience. However, students may apply to any of the departments and still become full members of the Center. Applications may be obtained by contacting the departments listed below. We request that students indicate their interest in joining the Center for Perceptual Systems on the application and that they also inform the Center's administrative contact (Christine Fry).
