Cognitive Neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience investigates the biological processes underlying cognition, aiming to understand how brain structure and function give rise to mental processes. Current research heavily utilizes deep neural networks (DNNs), such as convolutional and recurrent architectures, to analyze neuroimaging data (like fMRI) and model cognitive processes, with a growing emphasis on explainable AI methods to interpret these complex models. This work is crucial for advancing our understanding of brain function in health and disease, informing the development of more effective treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, and potentially leading to improvements in AI systems inspired by biological intelligence.
