The Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, founded by J.A. Scott Kelso in 1985, is dedicated to understanding the principles and mechanisms that underlie complex behaviour. From the microscopic level of cells and organelles to the grand scale of human interaction, its mission is to bring together multiple disciplines and backgrounds such as theoretical physics, complexity science, cognitive psychology, laboratory biology, applied mathematics and philosophy to tackle the most profound questions of brain, the mind, consciousness and behaviour. The centre is a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary research and academic unit in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science at Florida Atlantic University.
