Laboratory for the Neural Mechanisms of Attention (Dr. Ron Mangun) — by Ron Mangun — last modified 2008-04-13 03:31 AM

The lab is dedicated to understanding how the brain permits individuals to focus attention and awareness on the most relevant information in the complex and ever-changing world around us. This ability is known as selective attention.

Cognitive Neurolinguistics Lab (Dr. David Corina) — by David Corina — last modified 2008-04-13 03:32 AM

The Corina Cognitive Neurolinguistics Research Laboratory is dedicated to understanding the processes of perceiving and producing signed and spoken languages.

Memory and Development Lab (Dr. Simona Ghetti) — by Simona Ghetti — last modified 2008-04-13 03:32 AM

The main focus of our research concerns the development of memory and metamemory in childhood. Broadly, we address questions such as: What are the building blocks of the developing ability to encode, store, and retrieve episodic memories from one’s own past? How does the subjective experience of remembering develop? What are the mechanisms underlying the complementary ability to remember nonoccurrences (i.e., remember that events did not happen)?

Mind-Emotion Development Lab (Dr. Kristin Lagattuta) — by Kristin Lagattuta — last modified 2007-11-17 12:23 AM

Research in our lab focuses on the development of young children's knowledge about people in terms of their inner, mental lives--what a person desires, intends, believes, thinks about, and feels emotionally.

Auditory Neuroscience and Speech Recognition Lab (Dr. Lee Miller) — by Lee Miller — last modified 2007-11-17 12:24 AM

Our research is focused on understanding the neural bases of speech perception, especially in noisy environments. We study mechanisms of acoustic processing, audiovisual integration, and top-down inference in both normal listeners and those with hearing loss.

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Lab (Dr. Tamara Swaab) — by Tamara Swaab — last modified 2008-04-13 03:34 AM

 

Infant Cognition Lab (Dr. Lisa Oakes) — by Lisa Oakes — last modified 2008-04-13 02:26 AM

 

Cognitive Electrophysiology and Neuroimaging Lab (Dr. John Olichney) — by John Olichney — last modified 2007-11-17 12:24 AM

The Cognitive Electrophysiology and Neuroimaging (CEAN) laboratory of John Olichney, M.D. (Associate Professor of Neurology, UC Davis School of Medicine) in the Center for Mind and Brain is developing electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques sensitive to the memory and language impairments characteristic of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Neurocognitive Development Lab (Dr. Susan Rivera) — by Susan Rivera — last modified 2008-04-13 03:35 AM

Our research in typical development encompasses the areas of concept formation and quantitative reasoning. We study these topics in infants as well as children from about 4 to 15 years of age.

Vision and Action Lab (Dr. David Whitney) — by David Whitney — last modified 2008-01-10 06:15 AM

Welcome to the Laboratory for Vision & Action. We study visual and visuomotor localization, with the goal of understanding the perceptual, cognitive, and neural mechanisms that allow humans to perceive and interact with objects in a dynamic world.

Human Memory Research Lab (Dr. Andy Yonelinas) — by Andy Yonelinas — last modified 2008-04-13 03:35 AM

 

Self Regulation Lab (Dr. Jennifer Beer) — by Jeremy M. Smith — last modified 2007-11-17 12:28 AM

Dr. Jennifer Beer's lab has moved to the University of Texas, Austin.

Cognitive Control Lab (Dr. Silvia Bunge) — by Jeremy M. Smith — last modified 2008-04-13 03:27 AM

The lab of Dr. Silvia Bunge has moved to UC Berkeley.
