Duncan Memory Lab

The Duncan Memory Lab is a cognitive neuroscience facility specialized in investigating human memory. We use a broad array of techniques to answer questions like: how do our brains form memories; when are we best prepared to form or retrieve memories; and how can we use this knowledge to strengthen people’s memory? Our facility is equipped with human testing rooms to precisely measure behaviour in a controlled environment. We are also equipped with data analysis workstations, which are configured to efficiently process and visualize neuroimaging data collected at the affiliated Toronto NeuroImaging Facility. Core lab personnel are rigorously trained in experiment design, data analysis and cutting-edge memory theories. Research assistants are also trained to collect high-quality behavioural data from both younger and older adult populations.
