The Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (CNCS) of IIT@UniTn focuses on a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the computational abilities of the brain.

Currently the Center studies with systems level neuroscience in human subjects an in animal models, including psychophysical techniques, functional imaging, trans-cranial stimulation and computational approaches. Research includes examining how sensory cues and active movements of the body are integrated to support perception, studying brain mechanisms for attention and timing, studying functional connectivity in the brain, devising advanced methods for decoding/encoding neurophysiological signals.
