Applied Neurocognition
The "cognitive" piece in cognitive neuroscience refers to the mental processes and functions that are involved in acquiring, processing, storing, and using information. Cognitive functions include a wide range of activities such as perception, memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and decision-making. In cognitive neuroscience, researchers study how these cognitive processes are supported by the brain's neural structures and networks.
By integrating the detailed understanding of cognitive functions with the scientific investigation of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders, we aim to bridge the gap between brain mechanisms and therapeutic applications.

Research Methods
We use a variety of research methods in our studies.
EEG
Electroencephalography (EEG) offers precise information on when and how the brain responds to specific events. Learn MoreQuestionnaires
In psychology research, questionnaires are a common way to study things we can’t directly observe—like thoughts, emotions, and personality traits.Learn MoreCognitive Tasks
Cognitive tasks are like little puzzles or games that help us understand how the brain works. They’re designed to measure different mental abilities—like memory, attention, decision-making, or self-control.View DetailsSaliva Samples
Saliva samples allow researchers to look at things like cortisol (a hormone related to stress), cytokines (which are involved in inflammation), and other biological markers. View DetailsGet In Touch
