Scientific research

Research at the CIMeC is conducted in various areas that range from experimental psychology, to neuroimaging acquisition methods, to cognitive neurosciences and animal cognition, and even to computational linguistics and human-machine interfaces. In addition, the CeRiN is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatments of pathologies deriving from cerebral damage.

Research is conducted in five interdisciplinary labs that compose the CIMeC: the Functional Neuroimaging Labs (LNiF), the Center of Neurocognitive Rehabilitation (CeRiN), the Language, Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC), the Experimental Psychology Labs (EPL) and the Animal Cognition and Comparative Neuroscience Lab (ACN).

CIMeC Researchers and the Bruno Kessler Foundation have also begun a joint Research Center, the Center for Computational Cognition. The main areas of research at the CIMeC are:

• Perception and action
• Concepts
• Language
• Neuroimaging and modeling
• Social Neuroscience and Thinking
