Highlights – March 2005

 Mind in Matter

Aerospace is not just about planes, construction is not just about bricks and mortar and information technology is about more than wires, transistors and software. All of these fields involve real people. Learn about NRC's research carried out in the area of behavioural sciences.

 Neuroscience and Behaviour

A complete understanding of behaviour and cognition must embrace research in psychology as well as physiology and the very real physical changes that occur in the brain. Learn more about NRC research in this area.

Products designed for mass-market use can fail miserably when actually put into use - think about the flashing 12:00 of your VCR! Find out more about NRC's human computer interaction research.
