The Purdue Laboratory for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience uses different methodologies from cognitive psychology, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to study the relation between the brain and cognitive processing. The goal of the Purdue Laboratory for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience is to use empirical and computational methods to better understand:
- Neuroeconomics, with a focus on the role of valuation (e.g., reward processing, effort discounting) in decision-making and cognitive control
- Problem solving, with a focus on strategy acquisition and creativity
- Sensorimotor skill acquisition and performance, with a focus on the roles of practice and feedfback contingency
