Welcome to the Lifelong Brain & Cognition Lab Home!

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

The Beckman Institute

The Lifelong Brain & Cognition Lab is comprised of students and post-docs from a number of disciplines including Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Human Factors and Medicine all of whom have an interest in studying the relationship between brain and mind in both well controlled tasks in the laboratory (and in the bore of an MRI) as well as in extra-laboratory contexts such as automobile driving, flying, and other real-world domains. Some of the major focuses in the lab at the present time include >>

About the Theater Study

More and more studies suggest that what physical exercise does for the body, mental exercise does for the brain. Based on their own extensively published research, Drs. Helga and Tony Noice of Elmhust College have developed a unique program that takes place in a fun, socially supportive atmosphere. This is not a "how to memorize" course - you participate in lively discussions and activities in the arts.
