MAP LAB

Map Lab -- Neuroimaging of human learning, memory and cognition; Psychology, Neuroscience, Research... Understanding the brain mechanisms by which our mental events are transformed into action remains one of the most significant and exciting challenges facing modern neuroscience. This transformation allows us the ability to interact with other individuals and objects in our surrounding environment, travel from point A to point B (walking, running, driving) and, through the hands of the most gifted artists and musicians, the capacity to captivate the world. Thus, elucidating the cognitive underpinnings and neural circuits that drive our complex, goal-oriented behaviors is an important endeavor... Our lab uses a combination of tools including behavioral measurements, functional and structural brain imaging (fMRI and MRI) and neuromodulation techniques to explore the cognitive and neural bases of a variety of processes-decision-making, perception, memory and learning-that govern the..
