This program provides a ten-week summer research experience targeted at undergraduate students seeking in-depth and hands-on research in labs devoted to a wide range of topics connected with the theme of the Interconnected Mind. The site’s goal is both to support the participating students in developing their careers and to work towards a better future for cognitive science. The experience is designed to provide students with broader knowledge of the field, important technical and professional skills, and connections to faculty and labs at the forefront of research. The ultimate objective is to help prepare the next generation of US scientists for continued research in important areas of national interest related to the nature of human intelligence and behavior (e.g., mapping the mind, understanding consciousness, understanding the bases of cooperation, developing industries in artificial intelligence and neurotechnology, and translating basic science to help people with cognitive and neurological diseases). The program begins with an introductory workshop, followed by direct involvement in a research project in an established lab, and closes with a series of student project presentations. Throughout the program, the site will also hold journal club meetings, faculty research seminars, and professional development workshops. In their lab projects, student research will focus on different aspects of how the human mind works, integrating insights from multiple disciplinary a
