The brain shapes how we perceive, learn, feel, communicate, and interact with the world. At the Clinical Brain Lab, we study how brain systems support cognition and behaviour across development, ageing, neuropsychiatric conditions, and learning contexts.
We apply clinical neuropsychological principles to understand relationships between brain function, mental processes, and everyday behaviour. This perspective helps us examine how brain changes affect perception, communication, judgement, planning, emotion, and adaptation.
The main research modalities in our lab include traditional neuropsychological assessments, cognitive tests, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), diffusion MRI and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). More recently, we have also included the use of electroencephalography (EEG) to answer research questions that require better temporal resolution and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to investigate how we can modulate brain functions.
