"Cognitive neuroscience is about trying to understand how the brain processes information to make our higher cognitive functions possible. I find cognitive neuroscience very interesting because it has so much to say about who we are as humans and about our societies, and also because it has the potential in the future to advance our understanding of the brain and help us alleviate a lot of the suffering that is associated with psychiatric disorders."
