Researchers make a case for language as an emergent property of the brain, rather than individual parts working together.| Cognitive Neuroscience Society
Listening to a consistent “sh” noise could boost your memory, according to new research. Such white noise changes activity in the midbrain that is linked to learning and reward pathways. Past research had suggested a link between white noise and learning in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and in people learning arithmetic. The new work, […]| Cognitive Neuroscience Society
The Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) is committed to the development of mind and brain research aimed at investigating the psychological, computational, and neuroscientific bases of cognition. The term cognitive neuroscience has now been with us for almost three decades, and identifies an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the nature of thought.

We closed out CNS 2025 in Boston with another excellent poster session, followed by a whopping 6 more symposia, including on the use of VR in understanding and diagnosing Alzheimer’s and a discussion of 100 years of EEG. Check out some highlights in photos and posts below. @bostonu.bsky.social Brain Plasticity & Neuroimaging Lab in attendance […] The post CNS 2025: Day 4 Highlights appeared first on Cognitive Neuroscience Society.| Cognitive Neuroscience Society
CNS 2025 Press Release BOSTON – April 1, 2025 – Most people donning virtual reality (VR) goggles are seeking the thrill of being immersed in a fictitious video game world. But some are donning them for an entirely different experience: to help researchers identify those most at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. “We know that […] The post How VR Technology is Changing the Game for Alzheimer’s Disease appeared first on Cognitive Neuroscience Society.| Cognitive Neuroscience Society
The third day of CNS 2025 in Boston included 4 symposia — on topics ranging from use of smartphones to better understand and strengthen memory to visual development across cognitive systems — 2 poster sessions, a workshop on navigating difficult times, the Young Investigator Award lectures by Emily Finn and André Bastos, and the Fred […] The post CNS 2025: Day 3 Highlights appeared first on Cognitive Neuroscience Society.| Cognitive Neuroscience Society
CNS 2025 Press Release BOSTON – March 31, 2025 – A memory is not a straight line from one point to another, even if we sometimes think of them like linear stories. This key insight that cognitive neuroscientists have known for many years is now guiding a new type of research—to explore not only how […] The post How Dreams, Novelty, and Emotions Can Shape Memories: Lessons from Smartphone Studies appeared first on Cognitive Neuroscience Society.| Cognitive Neuroscience Society
