Welcome to the Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (CNU) Home Page. We are a division within both the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of Minnesota School of Medicine. The Unit focuses upon brain mapping of cognitive functions in people who are healthy and in patients with mental disease. We use methods from cognitive neuroscience to dissect mental processes. These methods include chronometrics (reaction time studies of performance), study of brain lesions, neural network modeling, and neuroimaging. Neuroimaging techniques permit visualization of mental processes and help to understand their localization, sequencing, and network interactions. Our neuroimaging efforts currently employ PET (positron emission tomography), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), electrical measurements of evoked responses (ERP), and magnetoencephalography (MEG).Link to article
