In Honours Life Sciences – Sensory Motor Systems, students examine how we receive and respond to signals in our environment. This specialization provides a strong grounding in sensory processing from both psychology/perception and neuroscience/physiology perspectives and integrates these traditional approaches with training in biophysics.

A unique aspect to our programs involves the implementation of community-based projects and peer mentoring experiential opportunities that are tied to in-course experiences. This multi-disciplinary approach to studying the Life Sciences provides students with a broad perspective for problem-solving and to undertake post-graduate research in an emerging life science field.
