Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology focuses on studying physiological processes of the brain, and how they relate to behaviour, cognition, mental health, and brain functioning. Utilizing various research methodologies and imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI, EEG), Neuropsychologists seek to find the connections between brain mechanisms, thoughts, and behaviours to discover how these inner processes are associated with various outcomes. Such research findings can be applied in a wide variety of ways, including supporting those with brain injuries and other neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. As such, Neuropsychologists can apply their training in research and applied settings, including healthcare settings.
