CerebrUM – Hub for Neuropsychology and Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience
Welcome to CerebrUM! A group of researchers from Université de Montréal dedicated to neuropsychology and cognitive and computational neuroscience.
Our objectives
Unite Leading Forces in Neuropsychology and Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience
The goal is to accelerate scientific work at the interface of these disciplines. This collaboration is realized through joint research supervision, collaborative funding applications, and the development of interdepartmental and interfaculty courses.
Create Partnerships with Academic, Clinical, and Industrial Stakeholders
The aim is to facilitate knowledge transfer and stimulate innovation. These partnerships will include hosting emerging companies (startups) within the NeuroBuro, fostering synergy between research and industry.
Support Interdisciplinary Training with innovative programs
This involves innovative programs such as the B.Sc. in Cognitive Neuroscience and graduate programs in Neuropsychology and Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience. These training programs aim to meet the needs of academia, industry, and the public sector by developing highly qualified researchers and professionals.

NeuroBuro
To facilitate scientific exchanges and stimulate creativity, the CerebrUM will soon provide its members with the NeuroBuro, a collaborative workspace located at the heart of the Department of Psychology.
The NeuroBuro is under construction!
Photos of the ongoing construction work in the space that will become the NeuroBuro
August 5, 2026 | Just before construction
The first two photos were taken just before construction began, on August 5, 2026. They show our very own Stéphane’s office, more decluttered than ever, as well as the famous eyewash station, a relic of a bygone era.
Late August 2026 | Demolition begins
The following eight photos were taken during the last week of August 2026 and show the demolition phase, including the removal of the eyewash station, which is now only a memory, before construction began.
Early October 2026 | Here are two new photos… It’s taking shape!
We will periodically add new photos so you can follow the NeuroBuro’s progress through to the completion of the work.
To be continued…
