Location of Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Campus
Our Brain and Cognition programme is concerned with cognition in the healthy brain and the nature of impairment in clinical populations. Our primary aim is to develop theoretical accounts of cognitive functions in the normal healthy brain, and to consider how our research might further understanding of clinical conditions and rehabilitative strategies.
Primary areas of interest include memory storage and retrieval, object and face processing, language processing, intelligence, and efficacy of biofeedback for clinical populations. We work with a range of populations including those with Alzheimer's disease, semantic dementia, herpes encephalitis, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury and aphasia.
Our research incorporates multiple convergent methodologies, including classic experimental cognitive approaches, Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
Contents
We currently have 7 senior researchers, all of whom have considerable supervisory experience. We also offer full-time dedicated technical and computing support to our research students.
Facilities
Psychological research encompasses a very wide range of techniques and this is reflected in our department's commitment to developing an extensive range of research tools and facilities. We have on-site EEG and eyetracking facilities, and a suite of experimental laboratories for data acquisition and analysis.
