Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience

The Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience group unites scientists who have diverse backgrounds but who share a common interest in understanding the mechanisms of cognitive and affective processes in typical and clinical popoulations. We do this by applying an array of techniques including: behavioural and molecular genetics, functional and structural neuroimaging, psychophysics, and neuropsychological and behavioural psychometrics, to understand the factors that underpin human cognitive function in normal development, ageing and in neurological impairment.
