Exploring the mysteries of the Brain in the heart of the Alps
Systems Neuroscience in Innsbruck
We are intrigued by the question on how our brains derives at decisions. Decisions that are the results of sometimes complex thought processes influenced by our experiences and our environment. Underlying thought processes that can when going awry result in the expression of symptoms reminiscent of severe neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. We apply advanced machine learning, behavioral modelling as well as mainly digital neural probes to investigate information processing of prefrontal neuronal pathways that underlie cognitive decision processes.
