Innsbruck Cognitive Neuroscience

Info

The research group ICONE investigates how the brain processes different cognitive functions (e.g., speech, learning, cognitive control, memory).

"ICONE Research Group investigates neural processing mechanisms of different cognitive functions e.g., speech, learning, cognitive control, memory in healthy subjects ranging from infants to elderly as well as in different patient populations. The methods which are adopted include the electroencephalography EEG, the functional near-infrared spectroscopy fNIRS as well as the magnetic resonance imaging MRI. By means of the EEG we are able to measure brain activity and can assess when exactly a specific processing step is performed in the brain. By means of the fNIRS and the MRI we can localize the involved brain areas."
