Campus Core Groups

The integrated research groups at the Max Planck Dahlem Campus of Cognition (MPDCC) include:

Mind-Body-Emotion, Head: Michael Gaebler, MPI for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences

The Mind-Body-Emotion research group investigates the interaction between the brain and the rest of the body during emotional processing - with a particular focus on possible modulators of cardio- and cerebrovascular health. To this end, they conduct psychophysiological and imaging studies in classical laboratory settings, but also in real environments (e.g. with mobile measuring devices) and with naturalistic experimental setups (e.g. immersive virtual reality).
 

MPRG MR Physics, Head: Benedikt Poser

The Max Planck Research Group MR Physics develops, implements, optimizes, and validates magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for neuroscientific research. The group’s work combines MR-physics and technical development with the practical and administrative coordination of the Institute’s MRI infrastructure and the organization of MRI lab routines. A particular focus lies on acquisition methods that achieve a favourable balance between signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution and enable reproducible MRI-derived measures.
