Statement by the Director

"It is a great privilege to take on the stewardship of the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at this truly exciting time in which cognitive science is generating ground-breaking advances in many aspects of health, disease and disorder, as well as in younger and older age. Our mission over the next decade is to harness the full potential of the field to improve human health. This will be achieved through innovative cognitive theory and cognitive neuroscience of the highest quality, coupled with an ambitious translational programme dedicated to propelling its fundamental science through to practical benefits for health, medicine, and education."
