MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences UnitEight members of the MRC-CBU travelled to Jodrell Bank Observatory to engage the public with Cognitive Neuroscience for three days at an exciting new festival of science and music – the Blue Dot. The stall, which showcased thought-provoking Cognitive Neuroscience research, was located directly underneath the Lovell Telescope, and attracted more than a thousand members […]
CALM children’s summer party at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit
On Saturday 24 June 2017 the Centre for Attention, Learning and Memory (CALM) hosted a children’s summer party at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge (MRC CBU). Since opening in 2014, CALM has conducted assessments with over 500 families with the aim of identifying the cognitive, behavioural, neural and genetic dimensions […]
Brainstorm M/EEG analysis workshop success
From June 9-11, the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC CBU) hosted a very popular Brainstorm workshop. Brainstorm is a collaborative software project dedicated to the analysis of electric brain activity using electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG), as well as other types of brain signals. The EEG and MEG scanners at the MRC CBU are […]
MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit transfer to the University of Cambridge
Susan Gathercole, Unit Director, is pleased to announce that the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit has successfully transferred to the University of Cambridge as an MRC University Unit. The transfer took place on 1 July 2017. The unit will still be known as the Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, but with […]
Age-related delay in visual and auditory evoked responses is mediated by white- and grey- matter differences
Age-related delay in visual and auditory evoked responses is mediated by white- and grey- matter differences Many aspects of human behaviour slow down with age, which are thought to reflect a reduction of information processing speed in the brain. To measure the speed of simple visual and auditory processing delays study participants are typically presented […]
Cambridge BRAINFest | FREE Public Brain Festival | 23-25 June 2017
Cambridge BRAINFest – 23-25 June 2017 Cambridge BRAINFest is a public free festival of brain research that will bring together >130 neuroscientists from across Cambridge to present ground breaking research in 30 interactive exhibits covering themes of Development’, ‘Brain & Body’, ‘Pain & Pleasure’, ‘Imagination & Perception’ and ‘Learning & Forgetting’, spanning research from molecule to […]
Cognitive segmentation and fluid intelligence
Cognitive segmentation and fluid intelligence Fluid intelligence tests are important because the ability to solve these problems is broadly predictive of success in many kinds of cognitive activity. It remains uncertain which aspects of cognition determine performance on these tests. To address this question, a CBU group modified a traditional fluid intelligence test, matrix reasoning, […]
Phonics works. New research suggests that sounding out words is the best way to teach reading
Phonics works. New research suggests that sounding out words is the best way to teach reading Researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London and the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBU) in Cambridge have published a paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, contributing to an intense debate about how best to teach […]
