Research Laboratories

Dr. Greg Hickok and Dr. Kourosh Saberi

The Auditory and Language Neuroscience Lab studies the neural and computational basis of auditory perception, speech, and language processing.

Dr. Michael D. Lee

The Bayesian Cognitive Modeling Lab focuses on cognitive models involving representation, memory, learning, and decision making, with a special focus on individual differences and collective cognition.

Dr. Joachim Vandekerckhove

The Cognition and Individual Differences Lab focuses on the integration of cognitive models with modern statistical methods for individual differences.

Dr. Megan Peters

The Cognitive and Neural Computation lab investigates how brains represent and use uncertainty in perception and decision-making, and what these capacities might have to do with metacognition and consciousness.

Dr. Jeffrey L. Krichmar

The Cognitive Anteater Robotics Laboratory tests computational models of the nervous system on robots and on parallel computing platforms.

Dr. Aaron Bornstein

The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience lab develops computational models of mental and neural function to investigate decisions that depend on memories of the past or thoughts about the future.

Dr. Barbara Sarnecka

The Cognitive Development Lab conducts behavioral studies of conceptual and language development in young children, especially in numerical cognition.

Dr. Nadia Chernyak

The DoSC Lab investigates how we learn to reason about the social world.

Dr. Ginny Richards

The Hearing Research Lab focuses on the perception of complex sounds using psychophysical methods and computational models.

Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan

The Human Neuroscience Lab studies the integrative function of the brain in perception, attention, and cognition combining EEG and MEG studies with models of the neural mechanisms.

Dr. Mimi Liljeholm

The LDN Lab addresses how humans discover and represent the predictive structure of their environment, and how such knowledge shapes cognition, perception and action.

Dr. Barbara Dosher

The Memory Attention Perception Lab studies human information processing and its interaction with perception using behavioral testing and computational modeling.

Dr. Alyssa A. Brewer

The mindSPACE Lab is dedicated to understanding what gives rise to our perceptual experiences.

Dr. Anna Leshinskaya

The Relational Cognition Lab investigates fundamental puzzles about how systems of natural and artificial intelligence learn about, remember, and reason with relational structures, using behavior, fMRI, and computational modeling.

Dr. Sara Mednick

The Sleep and Cognition (SaC) Lab is interested in understanding who we are as humans by investigating how we form memories.

Dr. Jeff Rouder

The Structure in Perception and Cognition Lab is interested in develop new statistical methods to address long-standing questions in cognitive psychology.

Dr. Emily Grossman

The Visual Perception and Neuroimaging Lab studies the perceptual and neural heuristics our visual systems use to construct the unified world that we experience.

Dr. Zygmunt Pizlo

The ViPER Lab studies mental mechanisms (algorithms) involved in cognitive functions.
