Cognitive Neuroscience Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring decision-making from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience.

AboutAbout the lab
To understand consciousness, turning to the brain and biology as well
Prof. Lauwereyns specializes in cognitive neuroscience and considers decision-making the most important and interesting theme in the professor's own research.
The professor says the starting point is the question of how phenomena such as dreams, illusions, memory, and free will can be explained.
The professor studied psychology and read philosophy books, but felt that understanding consciousness also requires considering the brain and biology, and so specialized in cognitive neuroscience.
The professor says decision-making is appealing because it can bring many different perspectives together into one.
