About Us

A key goal of cognitive neuroscience is to understand the relationship between neuroanatomy (i.e. connectivity and local circuitry), experience and neural representations. At the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, we study this relationship in using many techniques with an emphasis on human fMRI and behavior. We utilize a data-driven approach paired with many conditions allowing for the data-driven quantification of the structure of neural representations. We apply this approach in a number of domains including: visual object recognition; the representation of words, concepts and scenes; mental imagery; and working memory.
