Featured Researcher
Consciousness and Cognition
Dr. Adrian Owen’s research combines neuroimaging (MRI and EEG), with neuropsychological studies 
in brain-injured patients and healthy participants. Owen’s lab also uses web-based tools for the assessment of cognitive function in both health and disease and most recently to better understand the role that sleep plays in cognitive function. Learn More
