About C-NERVE

 

Welcome to C-NERVE!

Our principal goals are as follows:

  1. Create a technology-integrated program in cognitive-neuroscience at UW-Stout, focused particularly on integrating psychophysiological measurement technology into the undergraduate curriculum.
  2. Create a unified core of researchers here at UW-Stout, all of whom seek to use psychophysiological techniques to answer basic questions about the physiological correlates of cognitive and behavioral phenomena.
  3. Create an opportunity to reach out to disadvantaged high school students in Wisconsin, and give them exposure to some of the excitement of cognitive-neuroscience.

"Three Worlds"

This work of art by M.C. Escher illustrates the three integrated theoretical perspectives of modern cognitive neuroscience.  They are:
  • the Surface (psychological perspective)
  • the Underworld (physiological perspective)
  • the Outworld (evolutionary perspective)
Together, these separate perspectives allow for the complete explanations of psychological phenomena.
