Mission
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Social/Cognitive/Affective/Neuroscience Lab ( SCAN Lab ) is comprised of three individual laboratories: the Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab , directed by Kevin Ochsner; the Cognitive and Affective Control Lab , directed by Tor Wager; and the Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab , directed by Ed Smith.
The goal of the SCAN Lab is to provide an interdisciplinary research and training environment for researchers at all levels interested in studying the psychological and neural bases of social, cognitive, and affective behaviors. The integration of three distinct laboratories into a cohesive integrated unit provides unique opportunities for collaborative research and training in multiple approaches, techniques, and traditions.
