The CIMeC (Centro interdipartimentale Mente/Cervello dell’Università di Trento a Rovereto) is an interdisciplinary center, incorporating faculty from the departments of Cognitive and Education Sciences (DiSCoF), Physics and Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI), and directed by Alfonso Caramazza.

The center studies the functioning of the brain through the analysis of its functional, structural and physiological characteristics, in both normal and pathological conditions. In order to investigate the neural correlates of behaviour, the center makes use of state-of-the-art neuroimaging methodologies. The CIMeC is made up of various neuroscientific labs dedicated to fundamental and applied research, computational and experimental psycology labs, and a PhD program in “Cognitive and Brain Sciences”. CIMeC’s main offices (administrative offices, labs and PhD School) are in Rovereto, about thirty kilometres from Trento. The neuroimaging and animal cognition labs are in Mattarello (eight kilometers south of Trento), where administrative support offices are also located.
