Psychologists perform experiments to examine cognitive functions like social perception, decision-making, memory, and speech. Cognitive Neuroscientists connect these inquiries directly to neural mechanisms, employing brain imaging to identify supporting brain regions and temporal imaging to pinpoint process timing. Both disciplines collaborate to chart the connections between neural activity and behavior.

You'll explore current research topics across various domains including visual perception, auditory processing, memory systems, and linguistic functions.
