Mission Statement
Mission Statement
In the Cognitive Neuroscience & Neuropsychology Lab, we harness an interdisciplinary approach to studying neuropsychological and cognitive rehabilitative concepts. We integrate cognitive neuroscience theory with neuropsychological assessments and evidence-based interventions. A main focus is the development of neuroplasticity-based cognitive remediation techniques to improve cognitive deficits, such as processing speed, executive function, and working memory in individuals with neurological and cognitive conditions. The lab investigates the effect of remediation for cognitive deficits as they relate to performing everyday tasks and psychological problems, as well as the cognitive deficits associated with neurological conditions.
We strive to support participants not just within our community but nationwide, while working with partnered clinical centers and physicians to translate our interdisciplinary research into clinical practice.
