[COG Membership Roster] [COG Meeting Rosters]

The Cognitive Neuroscience [COG] Study Section reviews a broad range of applications on the neurobiological mechanisms and principles underlying cognitive functions other than learning and memory. Particular emphasis is placed on studies that directly relate behavioral/cognitive processes to their neural substrates. Multiple approaches and methodologies are appropriate including electrophysiology, anatomy, EEG, fMRI, MEG, psychophysics, behavioral testing, pharmacological intervention and theoretical/computational modeling. Specific areas covered by COG:

• Perception and sensory motor integration: pattern and object recognition in all sensory domains, multi-sensory integration, cross-modal plasticity, decision-making and motor planning.
• Attention: influences of attention on information flow within the brain in human and animal studies.
• Language and speech perception: cortical function in language and speech represented in neural activity.
• Other cognitive functions: executive processes, conscious versus non-conscious processing, imagery, hemispheric specialization, and emotional and motivational processes that influence cognitive function.
