Research on the pulse of the time

At our research-strong institute, we are equally committed to basic and applied research within the framework of a multi-level approach (neurobiological, cognitive-affective, behavioral and social-interactional levels). We work closely together with other sub-disciplines of psychology, in particular the focus "Cognitive-Affective Neuroscience", as well as with neighbouring medical disciplines in the Medical Faculty.
