The cognitive research at Hammel Neurorehabilitation and Research Centre (HNRC) is covered by the activities of Cognitive Neuroscience Research Unit (CNRU). CNRU is an interdisciplinary research group, performing experimental and theoretical research within cognitive neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, and philosophy of mind and science. For CNRU, it is a basic ideology that the interdisciplinary cooperation between basic science, clinical research and philosophy is a prerequisite to describe and explore many aspects of human brain functioning. CNRU researchers use a range of methodologies to study human cognition – from subjective reporting, “classical” cognitive science methods, and neuroscientific measurements.

CNRU is actively engaged in several international collaborations and is coordinator or partner in currently three EU-funded research projects.

CNRU is headed by Morten Overgaard and is part of the HNRC and Danish Neuroscience Centre. CNRU has office and laboratory facilities in both locations.
