Damasio Lab

The Damasio Lab, led by neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, studies how the brain creates consciousness and enables emotions, decision-making, and self-awareness. They explore how brain regions work together to produce feelings, thoughts, and sense of identity, using brain imaging and clinical research. Their work helps us understand neurological and psychological conditions, such as brain injuries and mental health disorders, shedding light on the biological basis of what it means to be aware and feel. Overall, the lab aims to connect brain processes with human experience to better understand ourselves.
