About us

The UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary and vibrant body of postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers, plus clinical fellows, with common interests in the human mind and brain.

UCL is Europe's research powerhouse in the field of neuroscience. Our programmes bring together some of the world's leading researchers in cognitive neuroscience and cognitive neuropsychology. 

Currently we are home to a small but passionate diversity of students, researchers, and staff members. With almost half of them being students - both MSc/MRes and PhD - we are a strongly youth-driven institute, which perhaps contributes to our continuing excellence in this continuously evolving field.
