Welcome to the Real-World Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at the University at Albany, State University of New York. Led by Assistant Professor Susan Wardle in the Department of Psychology, research in the lab focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms of real-world visual cognition and its connection to other cognitive processes such as memory and social cognition. We combine neuroimaging (e.g. EEG, fMRI), behavioral measures (e.g. mobile eyetracking, psychophysics) and computational methods (e.g. AI, machine learning, computational modeling) to understand the human brain.

* We will be recruiting graduate students for Fall 2027
