Welcome to the Cognitive Brain Dynamics Lab

The Cognitive Brain Dynamics Lab(CBDL) is now running from two places! While some of our team continue their work at NBRC, we’ve a fully functioning lab at IIT Jodhpur, in the Center for Brain Science and Applications — part of the new School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.

We welcome students and collaborators eager to advance neuroscience through experiments, data science, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence. The Cognitive Brain Dynamics Lab at IIT Jodhpur’s School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science explores how the human brain supports cognition, emotion, and language. Our team combines behavioral experiments with EEG, fMRI, and AI-driven analytics to study attention, memory, perception, and speech. We also investigate Autism, cognitive flexibility, and healthy aging through computational modeling and advanced signal processing. Using open neuroimaging data and large-scale network analysis, we aim to uncover how brain networks learn and adapt across the lifespan.

Exploring how brain dynamics shape human cognition and behavior

The Cognitive Brain Dynamics Lab investigates how the brain supports cognition, perception, and behavior by integrating neuroscience, psychology, and computational modeling. Our research combines data-driven approaches, AI, and machine learning with advanced techniques such as EEG, MEG, MRI, and eye-tracking to explore multi-scale neural processes underlying human cognition in both healthy and clinical populations.

With locations at NBRC, Manesar, and IIT Jodhpur’s School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AIDE), our interdisciplinary team spans biology, mathematics, statistics, biomedical engineering, and computer science. Together, we aim to understand how large-scale brain networks give rise to complex mental functions and adaptability across the lifespan.

Our work is supported by leading national agencies, including the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Science & Engineering Research Board (SERB), IIT Jodhpur Core Funding, and various postdoctoral fellowship programs under DST and DBT.

Be a volunteer in our experiment to help us make discovery of brain mechanisms, brain inspired new geneartion AI and learning alogorithms and develop new technology, understanding of brain functions and develop future clinical applications

We are looking for volunteers to take part in our exciting neuroscientific research. We study human brain  non-invasively using behavioural tests, MRI, MEG and EEG and state-of-the art machine learning models to understand brain patterns for classification of individual subjects, their phenotypic features and prediction of peculiarities of associated typical and atypical brain functions. These techniques enable us to infer what is going on in your brain while you perform various tasks. There is no risk involved and you will help to us discover mystry of brain functions during sensory processing and higher order cognitive processing involving memory, attention, perception, emotion and multisensory speech processing. This will also help how these functions emerge from early brain development in children to adults and how do they change during aging and age-associated neurodegenrative and psychiatric disorders supported by reorganization in large-scale brain networks and their precise network dynamics.
