News for the Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory |
|
- Julian Paul Keenan is now
in Biology Department. Call the coveted new extension- x2112, or stop by Science Hall 132. All other information is the same.
- Check your next few issues of Cognition.Natalie Sebanz heads up a team with Julian Keenan in which deception is
examined using ERP. Look for the first paper on 'double-bluffing', or what happens to the brain when you tell the
truth deceptively.
- Red Sox / Yankee paper pre-published in Social Neuroscience. Also, check out Giorgio
Ganis's Special Issue on deception and the brain. Click here. This issue has the most up to date research on the neural correlates of deception and Social Neuroscience is the only journal
to feature such an issue
- You may have missed an interesting article
by Stevens et al. asking if hockey visors make NHL players more aggressive due to over-confidence.

The Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab was established in 2001
by Julian Paul Keenan. The lab has served as a centerpiece for research investigating the neural correlates of self-awareness,
self-deception, deception, and their relationship to evolutionary neuroscience. The lab features TMS, ERP, EEG, eye-tracking,
and various physiological measures. There are many opportunities for students and visiting colleagues in the lab, and we emphasize
student training. Located at Montclair State University, the lab is 30 minutes from New York City. Julian Paul Keenan
received both his BA and MA from The College at New Paltz, part of the SUNY system. There, he studied under the guidance of
Dr. Phyllis Freeman employing ERPs. He received his PhD from The University at Albany, during which time he studied under
Gordon Gallup. His disseration research was all completed at Harvard Medical School. Later, both his post-doc and first faculty
position were at Harvard Medical School in neurology. From there he joined the faculty at Montclair where the Cognitive Neuroimaging
Laboratory originated.

What are the brain correlates of
self-awareness? What are the relationships between thinking about the self and thinking about others? How does deception relate
to our evolved past and the development of the brain?

Research and teaching go hand and hand at the Cognitive
Neuroimaging Laboratory. Because Montclair State University has historically been a teaching college, the lab was located
here to provide both undergraduates and graduates the opportunity to learn state of the art imaging in the background of teaching
excellence. The students play a significant role in the lab, from assistants to heading up their own independent projects.
Visitors are welcome (virtual or real). please contact either Julian Paul Keenan or one of his staff if you have
any questions. Furthermore, if there are any questions you may have, please feel free to ask.

Humans, though not unique
in their capacities, are certainly masters of higher-order cognition. Yet, many species have been reproducing successfully
for many more generations than humans without these abilities. These abilities are certainly costly, requiring, for example,
calories and oxygen to drive the brain that supports them. The self you possess... must pay reproductive benefits else these
traits ought to have been selected against. -From Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience
