Computational Basis of
Cognitive Control Lab
Lab Director | Karl Healey
Our memories define us as individuals, they record our personal histories on an autobiographical timeline. Memory is also central to our intellectual lives, as almost every cognitive task requires retrieving information from memory. The CBCC lab’s mission is to understand the computational principles that allow us to encode new memories and search for existing memories. We are particularly interested in the control processes that allow us to adapt our memory system to the demands of a wide variety of tasks.
