Study Details

The purpose of the research is to better understand how the human brain accomplishes the basic cognitive tasks of learning new information, recalling stored information, making decisions or choices about presented information and self-control. These investigations are critical to better understand human cognition and to design treatments for disorders of learning, memory, decision making and cognitive control.
