Understanding the mind takes many ways of seeing. Faculty at the Wu Tsai Institute are working across neuroscience, engineering, and psychology to study how the mind works. A look inside the institute’s new home shows how shared spaces and new tools are supporting discovery through collaboration.

From Sam McDougle's love of music has sprung a focus on how people learn and get better at motor skills – an area he sees as sometimes neglected in cognitive neuroscience. Read a new Q&A with him, a preview of his #CNS2026 YIA talk: www.cogneurosociety.org/taking-actio... @actlab.bsky.social
