Cognitive Science Group

We are a cognitive science research group based at the Institute of Psychological Research in Córdoba, Argentina. Our team brings together researchers from psychology, biology, physics, and engineering—fields that converge in the (neuro)cognitive sciences, which still lack a dedicated undergraduate program in the country. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Our research focuses on understanding consciousness and cognition across multiple levels, from brain dynamics to decision processes. We currently pursue three main lines of research:

1) Neural dynamics of conscious states: We investigate typical (wakefulness, sleep) and altered states (sedation, vegetative states, psychedelic experiences), exploring their neural signatures using EEG and functional MRI. In clinical contexts, we also examine their prognostic value for recovery.

2) Metacognitive access and decision confidence: We study how individuals assess their own decisions. Our work involves perception and reinforcement learning tasks, conducted in the lab or online, often using eye-tracking and probabilistic models to uncover the mechanisms underlying metacognition.

3) Sustained attention and neural control networks: We examine attention as a distributed system enabling detection, selection, and integration of information. Using EEG and transcranial electrical stimulation, we analyze the neural dynamics of attentional fluctuations and dysfunctions.
