Centre for Applied Neuroscience

The Centre for Applied Neuroscience (CAN) was established in 2010 as part of the large infrastructure grants of the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation (through European and National funding) and via co-funding from the University of Cyprus.

The aim of the Centre for Applied Neuroscience is to study human normal and abnormal behavior and mental processes with procedures, methods and theoretical approaches that are informed by contemporary neuroscience and biological perspectives of behavior. It bridges the gap between basic research and clinical applications through innovative and cutting-edge programs by drawing on the resources of experts in the areas of psychology, neuropsychology, education, cognition, mathematics, and engineering.

It is the only center of its kind in Cyprus investigating high incidence neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders through the application of integrative and contemporary methodologies. The founding of the Centre for Applied Neuroscience will bring at the forefront the importance of research, development, and delivery of evidence-based clinical services in Cyprus.
