New Center at UCSB led by Mike Gazzaniga

We wish UCSB and Mike well as they launch a sister institute on the west coast.

Money quote:
“UC Santa Barbara has received a $3.5-million contribution from SAGE Publications to launch a dynamic new interdisciplinary research center for the study of the mind. SAGE made the gift to commemorate its 40th anniversary as a leading international publisher for scholarly, educational, and professional markets.
The SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind will bring together UC Santa Barbara scholars from a broad range of academic disciplines in the arts and humanities, social sciences, the sciences, and engineering to explore the multidimensional nature of the human mind.

UCSB has attracted a top scholar to lead the pioneering new effort. Michael Gazzaniga, widely regarded as the founder of the cognitive neuroscience field, will direct the SAGE Center. Gazzaniga is currently the David T. McLaughlin Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth where he directs the college’s Center for Cognitive Neuroscience. In January, he will join UCSB’s Psychology Department, where he began his academic career in 1967 as an assistant professor of psychology.”
