Human Neuroscience Laboratory

The Human Neuroscience Laboratory (HNL) is located in Mcguinn Hall 405.
The HNL at ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØ is a vibrant research hub utilizing advanced cognitive neuroscience techniques to investigate the complexities of human behavior and brain function. Our state-of-the-art methodologies include:
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS),
- Electroencephalography (EEG),
- Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS),
- Psychophysiology,
- Eye-tracking, and
- Behavioral measures
In addition to conducting cutting-edge research, the lab is dedicated to fostering collaboration and providing support to not only ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØ faculty and staff, but to external users as well. The center offers guidance on research design, data analysis, and manuscript preparation for a broad range of neuroscience projects. Comprehensive training is available for all equipment to ensure researchers can fully utilize these tools

Jason Geller, PhD.
Director, Human Neuroscience Lab
I am the current Director of the Human Neuroscience Lab at ɬÀï·¬ÏÂÔØ. My research program investigates the cognitive and neurological underpinnings of language processing. I am primarily interested in the mechanisms underlying visual word recognition and speech perception. On the weekends, I spend time with my other love: human memory. In this area, I am interested in semantics, metacognition/metamemory, and desirable difficulties.
My philosophy is that cognition is best understood by looking at both behavior and the brain. To get a better understanding of cognition I use a multi-method approach that involves using standard behavioral measurements (e.g., reaction times), eye-tracking, neuroimaging, and physiological and nuero-physiological indices (e.g., pupillometry,EEG/sEEG).
Most importantly, my research is conducted according to the principles of open science. In my research, I promote open science practices by making all my work accessible and reproducible.
