The Cognitive Neuroscience Research Group aims to understand the function and dysfunction of neural systems that control cognition and behavior.
The unit comprises basic and clinical scientists who lead internationally recognized research programs, and together provide a highly collaborative research and training environment. Research themes focus on perception, memory, language, emotion, plasticity, and executive functions, which are studied in humans and animal models. The team makes use of many techniques, including psychophysics, cognitive tasks, and neuropsychological testing to characterize behaviour, with the aim of linking them to measures of brain function and anatomy.
Project Description:
Creation of a consolidated new research suite for the Cognitive Neuroscience Research Unit . The renovations will provide much needed updated research space including dry labs, testing rooms, offices, and social spaces in the Penfield Pavillion (2nd Floor) . The new space will accommodate human research subjects with mobility challenges, and be soundproof, with shielding for electrical equipment (EEG).
Project Scope:
Project will require the partial demolition of room 285 (formerly the Neuro Library). Electrical, ventilation, and new flooring required. New furniture, including privacy booths are also included.
