Nordic Center of Excellence in Cognitive Control

The Nordic Center of Excellence (NCoE) in Cognitive Control was formed in 2005 and is a scientific collaboration among eminent research groups in cognitive and affective neuroscience located in the Nordic countries and nearby countries (Russia, Estonia). The aim of the network is to develop cutting edge research that provides a joint multidisciplinary effort in cognitive and affective neuroscience, focusing on the mechanisms underlying cognitive control and its disturbances. The network consists of five research groups with different strengths with regard to theory and methodology. The research groups investigate the role of cognitive control in Attention, Perception/neurocomputation, Language/neurotransmission, Memory, and Emotion. Prof. Lars Nyberg (Umeå) is the leader of this NCoE.
