Behavioral Technical Presentation
You'll interview with your primary investigator (PI) of interest and about 2-3 other faculty. These interviews usually take 15-30 minutes, depending on the PI. If you seem to have the aptitude and a genuine interest in neuroscience, and can clearly articulate your ideas and interests, the interviews should go well. Also, PhD students might give feedback, so be mindful of that.
