he hum of a treadmill in the distance greets you stepping off the elevator into the Frederick J. and Marion A. Schindler Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory (CNL) at the University of Rochester. The noise is the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging system (MoBI), and its whirr is matched by the sound of the nearly 50 scientists who are in and out of the lab at any given time, aiming to answer difficult questions relating to the brain.

“Our lab paints on a broad canvas using many different tools, investigating different conditions. It’s a more unconventional approach to neuroscience that doesn’t constrain us to one problem as scientists,” said John Foxe, Ph.D., one of the principal investigators of the CNL and director of the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience. “Understanding what goes awry in the brain, in any disorder or disease, is imperative to our overall understanding of the brain.”
