What will I learn?

The Neuroscience and Cognition research cluster incorporates scientists with a diverse range of skills and backgrounds including computational modelling, neuropharmacology, human neuroimaging and cognitive science. The group focuses on understanding the mechanisms via which the brain guides behaviour such as decision making, skill learning and action control, and on understanding the physiological consequences of neural activity associated with both typical development and with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, including epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, the autism spectrum and ADHD.
