Cognitive Neuroscience Lab
Christian Brothers University is recognized internationally for engaging undergraduate students in cognitive neuroscience training and research. Our Cognitive Neuroscience Lab is unique in the region, providing you opportunities to design studies; analyze data; present research at regional, national, and international conferences; and co-author articles. With support from the National Science Foundation, we’ve outfitted our lab with equipment such as the Brain Vision actiCHamp system which allows us to learn about common physiological signals that can be used to study a subject’s health and well-being.
