Cognitive Neuroscience Lab (Johan Lauwereyns)
Machine-translated · View original
A cognitive neuroscience lab that explores the brain and mind with a focus on decision making.

AboutAbout the lab
Asking what it means to be human through the brain and the mind.
Professor Johan Lauwereyns's research in cognitive neuroscience starts from the question of what it means to be human.
The professor is interested in how phenomena such as dreams, illusions, memory, and free will can be explained, and read books on philosophy while majoring in psychology.
Feeling that truly understanding consciousness requires considering the brain and biology as well, the professor chose cognitive neuroscience as a specialty.
In the professor's own research, decision making is the most important and interesting topic, and the professor finds appeal in the way many different perspectives come together.
