The Department of Psychology at the University of Oregon has played an important role in the development of the field of Cognitive Neuroscience, and current researchers are continuing that tradition. Cognitive Neuroscience research areas include perception, visual cognition, selective attention, working memory, long-term memory, executive control, action, language processing, and brain plasticity. We also investigate how these processes are altered by development in impoverished environments, aging, traumatic brain injury, autism, and other conditions. <br><br>Systems Neuroscience spans the Departments of Psychology, Biology, and Human Physiology and is strongly connected with the Institute of Neuroscience. Research areas range from genes to circuits to behavior, with a focus on understanding how neuronal computations underlie behavior. Current faculty study sensory systems such as the olfactory, visual, and auditory systems as well as motor control, memory, attention, and decision-making.<br><br>Research efforts in Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience labs benefit from the collaborative atmosphere at the University of Oregon, both within Psychology and across other departments, allowing for an exploration of cognitive and neural processes at many levels of analysis.
