We are comprised of members of staff and graduate students, all with a common interest in determining the biological bases of mental events in humans.

The purpose of the RCCN is to encourage collaborative research which will increase the likelihood of receiving substantial research funding. The RCCN also holds regular research meetings. It is hoped that graduate students working with members of the RCCN will benefit from the range of expertise provided and will themselves contribute to our communal activities.

The research conducted here by members of the RCCN is diverse, ranging from basic research on cognition and perception, to understanding the neural bases of cognition in healthy adults, to clinical research investigating neural and neuropsychological function in various patient populations.

Our research programmes utilise a variety of neuroimaging, cognitive and neuropsychological approaches.
