 | | Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience involving the study of the neural mechanisms of cognition or put simply: "how the brain thinks". |
 | | Cognitive neuroscience overlaps with cognitive psychology, but whereas psychologists seek to understand the mind, cognitive neuroscience is concerned with understanding how the mental processes take place in the brain. |
 | | Cognitive neuroscience is sometimes seen as part of a wider interdisciplinary study of cognition: cognitive science. |
