Welcome to the CabezaLab
Welcome to our laboratory!
We investigate the cognitive neuroscience of memory by using functional MRI (fMRI) to examine the neural correlates of episodic memory (memory for personally experienced past events) in healthy young and older adults. We have been pursuing four main lines of research: (1) basic episodic memory processes, (2) autobiographical memory, (3) emotional memory, and (4) cognitive aging.

07/2008 - Peggy St. Jacques' artwork has
been chosen for the cover of the July 2008 issue of The Journal of
Cognitive Neuroscience. The artwork was inspired by St. Jacques et al.
(2008), "The Short and Long of It: Neural Correlates of Temporal-order
Memory for Autobiographical Events."
11/2007 - Kim & Cabeza's (2007) paper entitled "Trusting Our Memories: Dissociating the Neural Correlates of Confidence in Veridical vs. Illusory Memories," published in the Journal of Neuroscience, has drawn press from around the world!
