The Cognitive Psychology group at 糖心Vlog 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 糖心Vlog, including the Brain Institute and Center for Complex Systems.
