Nobuhito Abe  |  Associate Professor  |  Cognitive Neuroscience

I’ve used neuroimaging techniques and neuropsychological assessments to investigate the cognitive nature of human behavior both in healthy individuals and brain-damaged patients.
My major research focus is brain mechanisms of honesty and dishonesty.
