Research
Nobre leads the Brain & Cognition Lab. Current research in the group investigates how the brain prioritizes and selects useful information from the sensory stream and from memories at various time scales to generate experience and behavior. In addition to revealing the basic mechanisms of these large-scale proactive and dynamic regulatory mechanisms, they examine how the mechanisms develop over the lifespan and how they are disrupted in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
