Welcome

The Western Foundational Processes of Behaviour (FPB) Research Laboratories host world-class research focused on uncovering the fundamental mechanisms of the human brain and behaviour. Comprising of a team of internationally recognized researchers; the FPB initiative has become one of the most successful and productive research initiatives in the School of Psychology. Over the last two years FPB have been awarded with a staggering 30 highly competitive national and international grants, with a total value of over $10,500,000.

Our research team is committed to:

  • Excellence in research and theory building
  • World class program for training graduate students
