\n\t\t\t\t\t

Professor in cognitive neuroscience at the Department of Psychology, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, leader of Active Mind group.<\/p>\n

In the Active Mind Lab they are interested in how learning and interventions change cognition, emotion and brain function. Active Mind Lab has two focus areas: i) speech perception and auditory learning and ii) information processing in depression and aging. The name of the group reflects their aim to produce knowledge that can be used for promoting learning, mental health and active and healthy aging.
