The University of Queensland’s Centre for Perception and Cognitive Neuroscience (CPCN) is a catalyst for excellence in perceptual and cognitive neuroscience research in South East Queensland, Australia.

The CPCN is an interdisciplinary research centre housed in the School of Psychology. Our research employs a wide range of methods including behavioural studies, psychophysics, mathematical modelling, electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), as well as funcational magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). An overarching goal of the CPCN is to uncover and understand the links between brain, cognition and behaviour.

Researchers within the centre are engaged in cutting edge work in diverse fields including attention, perception, consciousness, language, learning, memory, emotion, action, genetics, and neurological pathology. The centre provides world-class graduate training, granting students opportunities to conduct independent and collaborative research using state-of-the-art techniques and facilities. The CPCN is also involved in the University of Queensland’s Summer and Winter Research Scholarship programs, which provides hands-on research opportunities for high-achieving undergraduate students from within Australia and from around the world.
