About Us The purpose of the Neurocognitive Imaging (NCI) Lab is use event-related potentials (ERPs) and other EEG techniques to study human cognition and perception. The NCI Lab uses Neuroscan EEG software and a 32-electrode system to measure electrical activity across the scalp, which can provide researchers with valuable information about how and where the brain processes information. Current projects in the NCI Lab include research on how the brain reacts differently to vivid, emotion-laden pictures (e.g. pictures of graphic violence) compared to more neutral imagery and how the brain processes images of cues that elicit craving (such as food cues when someone is hungry). The NCI Lab research is supervised by Dr. Amedeo D’Angiulli who joined the Carleton University faculty in 2007. Dr. D’Angiulli held the Canada Research Chair (Early Intervention/Child Development) from 2004 to 2007 while he was director of the Centre for Early Education and Development at Thomspon Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia. Dr. D’Angiulli also did post-doctoral research at the University of British Columbia, doing both a post-graduate fellowship and then a teaching fellowship. Any Questions regarding the NCI Lab or its current research projects can be forwards to Professor D’Angiulli.mailto:amedeo_dangiulli@carleton.ca?subject=NCI%20Labshapeimage_1_link_0
