Human Neuroscience Laboratory
The Human Neuroscience Laboratory (HNL) is located in Mcguinn Hall 405.
The HNL at 涩里番下载 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 涩里番下载 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 涩里番下载. 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.
