The University of Oregon's Psychology Department has significantly contributed to Cognitive Neuroscience's growth, with current faculty upholding this legacy. Research focuses span perception, visual cognition, attention mechanisms, memory systems, cognitive control, motor functions, language processing, and neuroplasticity. Investigations also examine how these cognitive functions change due to developmental challenges, aging processes, neurological injuries, autism spectrum disorders, and other conditions.
Cognitive Neuroscience methodologies incorporate diverse approaches such as behavioral testing, individual variation analyses, computational simulations, neuroimaging techniques, electrophysiological recordings, gaze tracking, and non-invasive brain stimulation. Research occurs in the cutting-edge Robert and Beverly Lewis Integrative Science Building, which houses both the psychology labs and the broader Institute of Neuroscience. The facility includes the Lewis Neuroimaging Center, equipped with dual 3T MRI machines dedicated exclusively to advancing fMRI and structural MRI research and education.
