The psychologist.

The science of psychology spans the three Research Councils of Canada. It includes the biological determinants of behaviour, such as the study of basic brain processes, memory, thought, perception (NSERC), the contribution of human behaviour across the continuum of health and health care (CIHR), and factors related to the workplace and society at large (SSHRC). Psychology is one of the few disciplines with such a broad scope of scientific interests, which allows it to act as a meeting ground and synthesizing agent for research from all three councils and from many other disciplines.
