Cognitive Neuroscience is the discipline that attempts to link the cognitive science theories of how the
mind processes information with our increasing knowledge about how the
brain can process information. This research examines both the macro scale, by looking at where in the brain various cognitive operations take place, and on the micro scale, by seeing how neurons perform computations.
