| The CNBC is dedicated to the investigation of the neural mechanisms that give rise to human cognitive abilities, broadly construed. The faculty of the CNBC includes researchers investigating normal processes and disorders of cognition, and there is a great deal of interest in learning and development. They use of a wide range of methods to investigate topics ranging from sensory processing and motor control to language, semantic cognition, and reasoning. ( http://www.cnbc.cmu.edu/ ) | ||
