Habit and Behaviour – Transdisciplinary Research Project (Ongoing )
Organization – Srishti Manipal Institute, MAHE, Bangalore
Role: Principal Investigator
Project Overview – The formation of habits through a neuroscientific approach and their
connection with complex cognition and tasks is important. The underlying mechanisms that
control coordinated and purposeful behaviour and complex cognition are major grey areas in
the field of neuroscience. Simple behaviour can be explained through relatively simple and
straightforward interactions between the brain’s input and output systems. However, complex
cognition, higher order analytical, creative, strategic and critical thinking with a meaningful
balance of emotion through the lenses of neural activities, still remain unexplored to a great
extent.
More than 30 master’s students have contributed in this initiative in an academic researchcapacity.
12 capstone projects evolved through this trans disciplinary research.Website: https://www.habitandbehaviour.com
