One of the key areas of research for the NeuroCarto Research Group is the neuropsychological correlates of map reading. The group is interested in understanding how the brain processes and interprets spatial information from maps, and how this information is used to navigate and explore the environment. By exploring the neural mechanisms underlying map reading, the group aims to develop new insights into how we can design more effective maps and spatial tools that better support human spatial cognition and navigation.
Another area of research for the NeuroCarto Research Group is geospatial cognition, which refers to the mental processes involved in perceiving, interpreting, and using spatial information. The group is interested in understanding how humans perceive and interact with their environment, and how this perception is influenced by factors such as culture, experience, and context. By exploring the neuropsychological underpinnings of geospatial cognition, the group aims to develop new insights into how we can design more effective spatial tools and technologies that better support human spatial thinking and navigation.
