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.
