Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab

Welcome to the Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab webpage, from the links above you can find out about the research being carried out in the lab, the people in the lab, and our facilities.

Mission Statement

Our lab's mission is to fuse diverse disciplinary perspectives that propel novel research exploring how we process and cope with uncertainty, and promoting psychological well-being. We lift each other up; we aim to introduce young scholars to research and nurture their professional development, particularly for those that are historically underrepresented in science.
