- The Cognitive Aging & Neuroimaging (CAN) Lab, in the Department of Psychology at Penn State, focuses on the study of learning and memory in both young and older adults. We employ both behavioral and neuroimaging methods, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional MRI (fMRI) to explore the interaction of cognitive and neural processes involved in true memories, false memories, and relational memories. With respect to cognitive aging, our research concentrates on the examination of age-related neural markers of cognitive decline, as well as mechanisms for neural compensation. Other lines of research include both implicit learning and genetic neuroimaging.
