Brain & Cognition
Research Center

Based on the critical evaluation of recent findings and mainstream insights from
Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology, and using highly professional research methods from
Cognitive Neuroscience such as EEG, Eye-tracking, GSR, and fMRI,
the BCRC (Brain and Cognition Research Center) is conducting world class
experimental researches on the cognitive mechanisms underlying
human linguistic/visual information processing.
Our research outcomes are expected to contribute not only to
a deeper understanding of human talking/seeing mind/brain,
but also to the science-based innovation of communication design.
