Chantal Stern - CNL Director
The CNL laboratory is part of the Center for Memory and Brain and the Dept. of Psychology at Boston University. Research in our laboratory focuses on mapping the human brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our primary goal is to study how the normal brain encodes, stores, and subsequently recognizes visual, spatial, and verbal information. In addition to studies of normal short-term and long-term memory processes, we use behavioral testing and fMRI to study normal aging, Alzheimer's disease, and HIV-related dementia. Graduate students within the Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory carry out their research within the psychology department at Boston University and also at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, located at Massachusetts General Hospital.
