About Cognitive Neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience, a branch of Neuroscience, concerns the scientific study of the neural mechanisms underlying cognition. It is a multidisciplinary field of research that encompasses systems neuroscience, computation, and cognitive science for understanding the relationship between cognitive phenomena and the underlying physical substrate of the brain. Cognitive neuroscience draws from linguistics, neuroscience, psychology and cognitive science with two broad directions; behavioral/experimental or computational/modeling.
