We use cognitive neuroscience methods to study working memory, social memory, episodic memory, and general social cognition.
Some of our studies will help us to understand and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as frontotemporal dementia, autism, and schizophrenia. Many of the disorders we study cause serious impairments and are very difficult to treat. Further research is essential to helping people who suffer from psychiatric and neurological disorders live normal, healthy lives.
We also run some studies that aren’t directly related to the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. These studies are valuable because they help us to understand how the brain creates the mind and what it means to be human. For the first time in human history, we humans are beginning to understand our own brains. It is a very exciting time for neuroscience!
