The Cognitive & Computational Neuroscience (CoCo-Neuro) Lab is located in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). The central goal of this lab is to understand the underlying neural basis of high-level perception and cognition (e.g., face recognition, social perception) and their computational processes in typical and neuropsychological populations.

Research in our lab combines neuroimaging, behavioral measurements, computational modeling, artificial neural networks, and neuropsychological research techniques to study how people perceive and process information and how these processes affect behavioral outcomes. We are particularly interested in studying the neural and cognitive processes that occur during rich, dynamic, and naturalistic stimulation, such as watching feature movies. We believe that this approach will help us to better understand the functional principles of the human brain, inspire the development of future artificial intelligence (AI), benefit clinical and neuropsychological groups, and contribute to broader health and wellbeing.
