Laboratoire de remédiation cognitive et de neuro-imagerie

Laboratoire 

Le laboratoire de remédiation cognitive et de neuro-imagerie mène des recherches novatrices qui visent à mieux comprendre et traiter les difficultés cognitives liées aux troubles de la santé mentale, tels que la dépression et la schizophrénie. Nous utilisons des techniques d'imagerie cérébrale afin de mieux comprendre les processus cérébraux reliés aux difficultés cognitives présentes dans ces divers troubles de la santé mentale, ainsi que chez les jeunes qui sont à risque de développer ces troubles. Nous utilisons également des technologies numériques, telles que les téléphones intelligents et la réalité virtuelle, afin de développer de meilleurs outils d’évaluation et de traitement des fonctions cognitives, dans le but ultime d’améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes de troubles de la santé mentale.
