Description

At the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development, our research focuses on human interaction and well being across the lifespan by advancing knowledge and finding sustainable solutions to the problems that matter most concerning humans and their interaction with other humans and technology.

Our uniquely diverse interdisciplinary team ranges from AI to linguistics, from developmental psychology to music. In addition to leading edge software and hardware including AI, deep learning, avatars, robots, and wearable biotech, our researchers from cognitive science and psychology rigorously design and evaluate the human-machine or human-robot interface.

Our expertise in Brain Sciences and Engineering is vital as healthcare, transport, security, and services become digital, automated, robotic, autonomous, augmented or virtual.

The MARCS Institute’s programs of basic science and translational research are designed to find solutions for humans in their interactions. We strive to solve the problems that matter most through the themes: Sensing and Perceiving, Interacting With Each Other, and Technologies for Humans.

MARCS is the intellectual home for more than 60 researchers and 60 PhD students. Our researchers come from many disciplines including developmental psychology, cognitive science, language science, music science, cognitive neuroscience, and biomedical, electrical, electronic and software engineering.

The MARCS Institute has a dozen specialist laboratories with equipment assets exceeding $4.5 million AUD. We are based at Westmead Innovation Quarter in state-of-the-art facilities, in the heart of Westmead's health and education precinct.
