This project aims to address a major challenge - the need for a better understanding of the basis for human cognition. Humans have a unique capacity for diverse, complex, thought and behaviour. To achieve this our brains need to rapidly and flexibly reconfigure, directing attention to different aspects of the world moment-to-moment as we think and act. The project will combine innovative analysis methods with state-of-the-art neuroimaging and brain stimulation to understand how key brain regions drive this process. Insights from this project will link brain activation to behaviour, improve insights from brain imaging, and contribute a better understanding of the neural basis of cognition. Such insights can ultimately benefit the development of evidence based approaches to key areas of public concern such as health and education.

这个项目旨在解决一个重大挑战——需要更好地理解人类认知的基础。人类有一种独特的能力，可以产生多样、复杂的思想和行为。为了实现这一目标，我们的大脑需要快速灵活地重新配置，在我们思考和行动的同时，将注意力时时刻刻引向世界的不同方面。该项目将创新的分析方法与最先进的神经成像和大脑刺激相结合，以了解大脑关键区域如何驱动这一过程。从这个项目中获得的见解将把大脑活动与行为联系起来，提高对大脑成像的认识，并有助于更好地理解认知的神经基础。这些见解最终将有利于在卫生和教育等公众关注的关键领域发展基于证据的方法。
