Cognitive Neuroscientists at the Center for Neuroscience and Center for Mind and Brain are investigating the higher order functions of the brain, functions that underlie perception, cognition and consciousness itself. Among questions being explored, our Cognitive neuroscientists ask:
How do we remember and forget?
How does attention improve cognitive performance?
Where is language processed and produced?
What is the neural substrate for the appreciation of music and other uniquely human attributes?
How do emotions influence they way we think and feel?
