Epilepsy Cognition Group
Our group uses neuropsychological testing and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate cognitive functioning in the healthy brain and in disease.
By examining how cognition is affected in neurological conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, and brain injury, we hope to understand both the nature of cognition in the healthy brain and how the brain adapts to disruptions to its integrity. Our interests span a range of cognitive functions, including language, memory, attention, processing speed and mood.
