The Gran Canaria Cognitive Research Center was established in 2024 as the first research institute in Gran Canaria dedicated to the study of the brain and cognition. Operated as a not-for-profit initiative, the Center’s mission is to explore the mechanisms of human learning, memory, and decision-making using state-of-the-art methods and analytical techniques. These include non-invasive brain stimulation combined with EEG and sophisticated behavioral methods. The center’s ongoing research is currently supported by two active Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento grants.

The Center functions within the framework of Universidad del Atlántico Medio (UNAM), a research-oriented private university. It also serves as a hub for scientific training and development, offering advanced research opportunities for PhD students in UNAM’s Doctoral Program in Psychology.
