The Laboratory of the Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neurosciences Research Center (CINPSI Neurocog), located in the "Technological Park" building of the Catholic University of Maule (Universidad Católica del Maule, UCM) campus in Talca, Chile, has been established as "Psychology Lab" recently in July, 2016. Our lines of work include basic and applied research. Among the basic research, we study executive functions, decision-making, and spatial cognition. In the applied field, we have studied neuropsychological and neurobehavioral effects of pesticides exposure, among other interests. One of our aims is to develop collaboration both national and internationally. It is important to mention that to date there are only few psychology laboratories and research centers in Chile involved with the fields of neuropsychology and neurosciences. Thus, this scientific effort could be a groundbreaking initiative to develop specific knowledge in this area locally and interculturally through its international collaborations.
位于智利塔尔卡市毛勒天主教大学（Universidad Católica del Maule, UCM）校园“科技园”大楼内的神经心理学与认知神经科学研究中心（CINPSI Neurocog）实验室，于2016年7月最近被设立为“心理学实验室”。我们的工作方向包括基础研究和应用研究。在基础研究方面，我们研究执行功能、决策制定和空间认知。在应用领域，我们研究了农药暴露的神经心理学和神经行为影响等课题。我们的目标之一是开展国内和国际合作。需要指出的是，到目前为止，智利只有少数心理学实验室和研究中心涉足神经心理学和神经科学领域。因此，这项科研工作可能是一项开创性的举措，通过国际合作在当地和跨文化层面发展该领域的专业知识。
