Lab Mission

The Memory Dynamics Lab, part of the Neuroscience Program at Bates College, works to harness the mechanisms responsible for adaptively acquiring, retrieving, consolidating, and forgetting memories through cognitive neuroscience (including the study of human brainwaves and behavior while awake and asleep). In doing so, we aim to distill and disseminate strategies designed to help learners capitalize on these mental operations, allowing them to better remember when/what they want to remember and forget when/what they want to forget.
