Build-A-Brain Lab, College of Charleston
Nick Hindy, PhD, Principal Investigator. Assistant Professor of Psychology.
We are a cognitive neuroscience lab studying human neuroanatomy and how people learn it. Our research covers hippocampal memory, white matter connectivity (diffusion tractography), and neuroanatomy education. We develop open-source software and 3D-printed brain models for teaching the brain.
Supported by National Science Foundation Award #2315440, "Show Me the Brain!!" (IUSE program).

About Us
Build-A-Brain Lab
Our lab focuses on understanding how different parts of the brain are connected. We use advanced imaging tools to create easy-to-understand brain maps. These maps help students and researchers learn more about the brain's structure. Our goal is to make learning about neuroanatomy easier and more effective.
