Experimental platforms

LabEx CerCoG on a network of six experimental platforms, which are the cornerstones of our mission to support research on the brain and cognition. These platforms provide expertise, tools, and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure optimal conditions for conducting ambitious and innovative research.

From brain imaging tools to behavioral measurement equipment, advanced technologies dedicated to data analysis and cognitive modeling, they are at the heart of scientific excellence, offering researchers a collaborative, high-performance environment that is always at the cutting edge of technological developments. They are also true crossroads where ideas, expertise, and innovations come together to push the boundaries of knowledge.
