We are an interdisciplinary group of scientists studying how the human brain supports its functions from an integrative and system-level perspective. Within this framework we are particularly curious to understand the interplay of genes and (social)environment upon the brain, and what this means for human cognition and mental health.
We are based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig and INM-7, Forschungszentrum Jülich in Jülich, both in Germany. We are part of Helmholz International Bigbrain analytics & learning laboratory set up by Forschungszentrum Jülich and Montreal Neurological Institute, Montreal, Canada.
