The Memory and Neuroscience Lab, directed by Charles Brainerd, conducts mainstream, theory-driven experimentation with adult populations, college-aged populations and developmental investigations with child, healthy elderly, and impaired populations.  At Cornell, our research group includes post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students who receive high-level training in both the behavioral and neuroscience sides of contemporary research on human memory, decision-making and cognition. Beyond Cornell, we collaborate with researchers and laboratories from other universities, including universities in other countries such as Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Welcome!
