About
The Stanford Neurosciences Institute is a new, campus-wide independent institute under the Vice Provost and Dean of Research.
Message from the Director
William T. Newsome, Director
The Stanford Neurosciences Institute aspires to unravel the deepest secrets of the human brain—the biological source of thought, emotion and creativity.
The path before us is challenging, but it will be exciting. The brain will not give up its secrets easily. We will succeed by harnessing Stanford’s strong culture of collaboration across schools and departments and by encouraging sustained and coordinated efforts between biomedical scientists, physical scientists, social scientists, engineers, and experts in human behavior from the fields of education, law, business and the humanities.
