About
The Cognitive Neuroscience Hub is an interdisciplinary research community at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences dedicated to understanding the science behind cognition.
We investigate how the brain gives rise to thought, behaviour and experience by combining behavioural research with cutting-edge neuroscience, computational modelling and artificial intelligence.
Through collaboration across academia, healthcare, government and industry, we translate discoveries about the brain into research, innovation and real-world impact.

An Interdisciplinary Research Community
The Cognitive Neuroscience Hub was established to bring together researchers who share an interest in understanding the biological processes that underlie human cognition. Led by Associate Professor Natalia Egorova-Brumley (Director) and Professor Iroise Dumontheil (Deputy Director), the Hub provides a collaborative research environment that connects expertise across psychology, neuroscience and related disciplines.
Our members work with collaborators from across the University of Melbourne, research institutes, healthcare organisations, government and industry. By fostering interdisciplinary partnerships, we create opportunities to address complex scientific questions, develop innovative research programs and translate discoveries into meaningful real-world outcomes.
Developing People and Research Capability
A core priority of the Hub is supporting the next generation of cognitive neuroscientists. We provide opportunities for Honours, Masters and PhD students, as well as early career researchers, to present their work, receive feedback and build professional networks within a supportive research community.
Alongside these opportunities, we deliver practical Methods Workshops that develop expertise in contemporary cognitive neuroscience techniques and analytical approaches. By investing in research capability and fostering an inclusive community, the Hub aims to strengthen cognitive neuroscience research both within the University of Melbourne and beyond.
Advancing Research Through Collaboration
The Hub supports a vibrant research community through initiatives that encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing and innovation. Our Roundtable Meetings, annual symposium and seminar series bring together researchers, clinicians, students and external partners to exchange ideas, showcase new discoveries and establish new collaborations.
We welcome partnerships with researchers and organisations interested in cognitive neuroscience. Whether through collaborative grant applications, shared research infrastructure, interdisciplinary projects or knowledge exchange, the Hub provides opportunities to work across traditional disciplinary boundaries and accelerate scientific discovery.
