Neurosciences

In the area of neurosciences, new technologies of brain research, such as the functional magnet resonance tomography (fMRT) and Hochfeld-MRT, combined with innovative simulation devices and behavioural measurement and observation methods in order to achieve a more comprehensive and basic understanding of the interconnections between cognitive, physiological processes and nerve cells and their interconnection. To this end, in particular, joint examinations on plasticity and the functional repair or compensation strategies of our brain are to be used in the process of the development, during the physiological ageing process and for neurological disease processes. Further work focuses on the provision of a communication method between brain and computer, the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), for patients with severe damage to the central nervous system and on the neuro feedback, which can be used therapeutically for various disease patterns.
