Cognitive neuroscientists investigate higher order functions of the brain, underlying perception, cognition and consciousness. Questions we are exploring include:
- How do we remember and why do we forget?
- How do we focus our attention on what is most important?
- What are the mechanisms that determine what we see and hear?
