Do you offer a short course in Neuroaesthetics?

Our approach to the field is as scientists trained to conduct primary research. There is no shortcut to develop the skills - including statistics, experimental design, and scientific writing - necessary for that kind of work. 

If your interest is more casual, here is a reading list we recommend:

What about a graduate program?

The PCfN does not accept graduate students. If you are enrolled in a PhD program related to neuroaesthetics and are interested in doing a rotation in our lab, please email Dr. Cardillo and copy your supervisor. 

Can I work at the lab? I'll even work for free!

We welcome up to 3 students per year for independent study credit who work on a neuroaesthetics-related research project under the guidance of a postdoc mentor. Students are expected to attend weekly lab meeting in-person and commit approximately 10 hours/week to lab-related work. Our undergraduate students are treated as full-fledged lab members, so we look for students who demonstrate passion and responsibility.

If you are interested in this opportunity, or have a question related to a school project, please email Bella for more information.

Unfortunately we are not able to work with high school students or students outside the Philadelphia area.
