CNS Laboratories (Some labs do not have public sites.)
-
The Carter Lab
-
Laboratory for Neuroeconomics (Glimcher Lab)
The work of our laboratory seeks to reconcile economically based models
of behavior with neurobiological theories of response generation. Our
long-term goal is to use economic theories of choice as a basis for
developing a biologically testable paradigm rooted in decision theory
and games theory that can replace traditional dualist notions of mind
and body.
-
Computational Neuroimaging Lab
(Heeger Lab)
The focus of our research is to use functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) to quantitatively investigate the relationship between
brain and behavior.
-
Visual Neuroscience Laboratory (Kiorpes and Movshon Labs)
The Visual Neuroscience Laboratory is devoted to the study of the function and development of the mammalian visual system, using behavioral, biological, and theoretical techniques.
-
Emotion, Memory and the Brain (Ledoux Lab)
How does the brain form memories of life's significant events? This is the question that motivates the research in our laboratory. More specifically, our work is focused on how traumatic memories are formed, stored, and retrieved.
-
Laboratory for Computational Vision (Simoncelli Lab)
Our laboratory studies the analysis and representation of visual information. The work is inherently interdisciplinary, requiring empirical study of the structure of visual environments, construction of mathematical theories for representation and processing of that structure, implementation and simulat ion of biologically plausible instantiations of these theories, and psychophysical or (through collaboration) physiological investigations designed to test these theories.
-
Laboratory for the Study of Learning, Memory and Cognition (Suzuki Lab)
Our goal is to understand how the brain lays down new memories
for facts, events and relationships that we know are dependent
on the medial portion of the brain’s temporal lobe.
-
CoreVision
A joint project with the Center for Neural Science and the Department
of Psychology, CoreVision is a multi-platform framework for
performing many kinds of Psychophysics experiments.
Programs associated with CNS
-
Center for Brain Imaging
The Center for Brain Imaging, jointly operated by the Center for Neural
Science and the Department of Psychology, supports research in brain
structure and function using a variety of methods including MRI and
fMRI imaging, EEG and ERP recording, and stimulation using TMS.
-
Center for Neuroeconomics
The Center for Neuroeconomics at New York University is one of the preeminent
institutions for the study of decision making and the brain. The Center
brings together faculty and students from NYU's world-class departments
of Neural Science, Economics and Psychology in classes, seminars
and research groups.
-
Emotional Brain Institute
The Emotional Brain Institute (EBI) is a joint initiative between New
York University and New York State. The goal of EBI is to understand
emotions and their impact on mind and behavior. A multi-disciplinary
group of researchers is investigating the origins of normal and
pathological emotions from the level of mind and behavior to neural
systems, cell activity, molecules, and genes. In researching these
topics, EBI investigators use state of the art approaches in the study
of brain, mind, and behavior.* *EBI researchers are located at the
Washington Square Campus of NYU and the
NYU Langone
School of Medicine, both in Manhattan, and the
Nathan Kline Institute, in Orangeburg, NY.
-
NYU Learning, Memory and Emotion Group
The Learning, Memory and Emotion Group at NYU consists of faculty,
postdocs, and students in the Center for Neural Science and Department
of Psychology who study learning, memory, including emotional learning
and memory. The Group meets on the first Friday of each month for the
Memory in Brain (MiB) Journal Club, at which a range of topics in
learning and memory are discussed, often by a guest speaker. Pizza is
served.
-
Sloan-Swartz Center for Theoretical Visual Neuroscience
Combines the strong scientific departments at NYU of CNS and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (CIMS) with the common goal of integrating as far as possible the research of theoreticians and experimentalists in the study of the brain.
