The Attention and Control Laboratory is a cognitive neuroscience research group studying attention, training, cognitive control, theory of mind, and task performance using behavioural and neuroimaging techniques.

The Attention and Control Laboratory is lead by Professor Paul E. Dux and Dr. Hannah Filmer. The group has a special interest in understanding the mechanisms of attention and executive function and the efficacy and neural basis of cognitive training/learning. The team employs psychophysics, modeling, brain stimulation and brain imaging approaches and applies this work to health, military and education settings. The lab is funded by the Australia Research Council (ARC), National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and Defence (HPRNET and AUSMURI).

If you are interested in working in the lab as a research assistant, honours student, PhD student or postdoctoral fellow, please contact Professor Dux or Dr Filmer.
