Les neurosciences ont pour objet l'étude du cerveau. Il s'agit d'un domaine pluridisciplinaire à l'intersection de la psychologie, la biologie, la pharmacologie, la physique et les maths. En enrichissant chacune des disciplines qu'elles intègrent, les neurosciences placent notamment la psychologie au cœur des sciences. Ce cours a donc pour objectif d'inclure une approche neuroscientifique de la psychologie dans les formations générales de psychologie clinique et de travail proposées par la FLSH et de construire des ponts avec les autres disciplines offertes à l'USJ et qui sont susceptibles de faire avancer la science du cerveau.
