Conducting state-of-the-art research into the neurobiological underpinnings of cognition
We specialise in studying cognition and performance not just in the lab but also under real-world conditions. Our main areas of research include:
- language
- memory
- the effects of sleep on cognition
- human performance in complex environments
- individual differences in human information processing
We collaborate with other laboratories in IVE and external partners to examine real-time measures of cognitive workload in a variety of interactive and virtual environments. The Cognitive Neuroscience Lab (CNL) is located in a dedicated research facility at the Adelaide University Magill campus. We have the capability to run experiments using:
- Electroencephalography (EEG), allowing for a range of data collection methods including ultra-mobile, high density, and hyper scanning (concurrent EEG measures from multiple individuals)
- Eye-tracking
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
- Physiological measures such as skin conductance and heart rate
- Various behavioural methods
