Cognitive Psychology
The Cognitive Psychology group at ÎÔÁú×ÊÔ´Íø is concerned with how the brain controls the mind and behavior. The faculty offers research programs focusing on attention, perception, memory, and cognitive development. We use a wide range of methodological approaches including psychophysics, eye tracking, EEG, fMRI and fNIRS. Faculty in the program are affiliated with a number of neuroscience programs at ÎÔÁú×ÊÔ´Íø, including the Brain Institute and Center for Complex Systems.
