Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences.
Research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences revolves around human cognitive abilities and cerebral processes, with a focus on the neural basis of brain functions like language, emotions and human social behaviour, music and action. Our studies look into the perception, planning, and generation of these, and analyzes the interaction and common functional bases of their production and perception.
Other research focuses on plastic changes in the human brain and the influence this has on various cognitive abilities, and also the neuronal and hormonal basis of ‘modern diseases’ like high blood pressure and obesity. In addition, the further development of imaging methods for the neurosciences is a focal point of research at the Institute.
