One goal of Crown 85 is to introduce its students to researchers and research in the various neuroscience and perception laboratories throughout the UCSC campus. Enrolled students are required to visit one of these researchers and present a class report on the studies being conducted in their laboratory. Laboratories which have agreed to host Crown 85 student interviews include:
