Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging

Research institute

The Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (DCCN) is one of the six research centres of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. Our mission is to advance the understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying human behaviour through innovative, collaborative, and multidisciplinary research. By integrating and developing advanced neuroimaging techniques, computational models, interventions, and novel experimental paradigms, we aim to uncover the fundamental principles of brain and cognition across both healthy and clinical populations. With our findings, we want to make impactful contributions to science and also to society, particularly in the domains of healthcare, education, public policy, and technology.

Understanding the predictive brain in the natural world
