Cognitive Neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific study of the biological processes underlying cognitive processes such as attention, memory, decision-making, learning, and language. It is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field between psychology and neuroscience, involving the study of brain-behavior relationships. Cognitive neuroscience aims to understand how psychological processes are realized in the brain, and it has important implications for how we diagnose and treat psychiatric and neurological disorders, as well as our understanding of how normal brain functioning contributes to human behavior.
