In the field of measuring cognitive and/or neuronal process dynamics , we are interested in the time course of cognitive and neuronal processes. In contrast to classical structural questions of the result-oriented WHAT and WHERE (e.g. WHAT does a person decide, WHERE is information processed), we focus on the dynamic question of WHEN and HOW (e.g. WHEN is which information incorporated into the decision-making process and HOW). The investigation of this question offers basic scientific insights into the functioning of the cognitive system/brain on the one hand, but also new insights into and markers for mental disorders on the other.
Bachelor's and Master's theses are dedicated to the application of existing dynamic measurement methods to specific questions or the (further) development of dynamic measurement methods. These include
- mouse tracking
- eye tracking
- EEG (frequency tagging and time-frequency analyses)
- Sequence analyses
We offer work in various psychological fields of application:
- Cognitive control and voluntary action control
- Decision making
- Social interaction
- Personal belief systems
An example of application in the area of intertemporal decisions ("Do I take a small reward now or a big reward later?") can be found in this article.
