Which parts of the brain support memory, attention, language and other mental abilities, and how does this change from childhood to old age? Cognitive neuroscience answers such questions by combining cognitive psychology with neuroscience.

- Grants
- 1 known grant, through May 2030
What they work on
- Provide MRI data collection for human cognitive neuroscience studies of children and adults, using a research-dedicated 3T Siemens Prisma scanner that can image brain structure, activity, white-matter connections and chemistry (spectroscopy).
- Support research use of magnetoencephalography (MEG), which records magnetic fields produced by brain activity, on a MEGin Truix Neo instrument for CoNDA Center investigators and other researchers.
- Offer expertise in storing, processing, analyzing and interpreting MRI and MEG data for the Center's research projects and pilot projects, which study healthy participants and participants with health conditions.
More about the research
In people, that requires imaging the brain without surgery and turning raw scans into data that can be interpreted. Specialized instruments and analysis expertise make this possible.
Why it matters
The core gives researchers shared MRI and MEG instruments and expert help with analysis. This lets them identify the brain systems behind thinking and behavior in children and adults, including people with health conditions. That understanding of how the brain supports cognition across development and aging could eventually inform research on conditions that affect these processes.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
