About our lab
Welcome to the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at the University of Michigan – Dearborn!
In this lab, we are conducting research on the neural mechanisms of human memory and training-induced neural plasticity.
The lab is equipped with a 64-channel active EEG recording system and a high sampling rate (500 Hz) eye tracking system. Psychophysiological measures such as skin conductance, heart rate, and respiratory rhythm can also be acquired simultaneously with the EEG and eye movement measures. We also conduct functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies in collaboration with scientists in other institutes.
This lab is also built to provide hands-on cognitive neuroscience research experience for the undergraduate and graduate students on the U-M Dearborn campus.
Motivated and talented students are welcome to join the lab.

A new lab course in winter 2023
BBS 400: Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory
​

-
Do you want to know how we study the brain? If you have already taken, or are concurrently taking, PSYC400 (Cognitive Neuroscience), this laboratory course is for you! If you have taken BIO350/402/480 and would like to take this course, please let me (Dr. Liu) know.
-
In this class, you will use open-source (i.e., FREE) software to learn human brain anatomy, including important brain gray and white matter that supports our cognitive functions.
-
You will also use open-source (i.e., FREE) software to learn non-invasive research methods used in cognitive neuroscience. You will be introduced to and obtain hands-on experience with neuroimaging research methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
-
You will also learn to use open-source (i.e., FREE) software to make a cognitive task that can be used to study the brain!
-
BBS400 + PSYC400 will fulfill BBS program "Neuroscience" requirements.
