Explore projects in Cognitive and Neuroscience!
Projects in cognitive psychology investigate the mental processes that shape how people perceive, think, learn, remember, and solve problems. These studies explore core topics such as attention, memory, language, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving across different age groups and contexts. Researchers use experimental methods to understand how individuals process information and how these processes are influenced by factors like emotion, motivation, and environment. Many projects also examine cognitive development, individual differences, and applications to education, technology use, and mental health. This research provides critical insights into how the mind works and informs strategies to support learning, performance, and well-being.

Projects in neuroscience explore the structure, function, and development of the nervous system to better understand the biological foundations of behavior, cognition, and emotion. These studies investigate how brain cells communicate, how neural circuits support processes like memory, attention, and emotion, and how the brain changes across the lifespan. Researchers often use techniques such as neuroimaging, electrophysiology, molecular biology, and animal models to study brain function in both typical and disordered states. Many projects focus on neurological and psychiatric conditions, brain development, plasticity, and the effects of genetics, environment, or injury. This research advances knowledge in brain science and informs interventions in medicine, mental health, and education.
