Cognitive neuroscience is the study of how cognitive, emotional and social cognitive processes are mediated in the brain. Its main applications in society are within mental health and neurology, where both basic and applied cognitive neuroscience contribute to understanding neural underpinnings of disease mechanisms as well as treatments. Research findings from cognitive neuroscience also feature in the school system, legal settings and technology development.
