Imaging Methods

In the area of Imaging Methods, researchers use various imaging methods to investigate the cognitive and neural foundations of learning and how the human brain learns and stores knowledge. Specific areas of study include Novel Approaches to Functional Lateralization (see Coutanche), how cognition may be optimized by reinforcement learning signals and error-correction signals (see Fiez), and the use of structural and functional MRI to learn about the impact of stress on neurobiology (see Hanson).

Additional topics include using imaging methods to assess the neural and behavioral basis of numerical cognition (see Libertus), brain activity interpretation (see Schneider), the cognitive neuroscience of language processes (see Tokowicz), and the use of behavioral, ERP, and fMRI labs to achieve a richer view of language processes (see Perfetti).
