The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS) is a research institute located in Leipzig, Germany. It is part of the Max Planck Society, which is one of the leading organizations for fundamental research in Europe. The institute focuses on the study of human cognitive abilities and brain function.
History[edit | edit source]
The MPI CBS was established in 2004 through the merger of the Max Planck Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience in Leipzig and the Max Planck Institute for Psychological Research in Munich. The institute aims to understand the neural mechanisms underlying human cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, language, and decision-making.
Research Areas[edit | edit source]
The research at MPI CBS is organized into several departments and research groups, each focusing on different aspects of cognitive and brain sciences:
- **Department of Neuropsychology**: Investigates the neural basis of cognitive functions and their impairments.
- **Department of Neurology**: Studies the brain's structure and function in health and disease.
- **Department of Psychology**: Explores cognitive processes and their development across the lifespan.
- **Department of Social Neuroscience**: Examines the neural mechanisms underlying social behavior and interactions.
Facilities[edit | edit source]
The institute is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, electroencephalography (EEG) systems, and other neuroimaging tools. These facilities enable researchers to conduct cutting-edge experiments and gather high-quality data on brain function and cognition.
Collaborations[edit | edit source]
MPI CBS collaborates with numerous national and international research institutions, universities, and hospitals. These collaborations facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise, fostering advancements in the field of cognitive and brain sciences.
Education and Training[edit | edit source]
The institute offers various educational and training opportunities for students, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting scientists. These include workshops, seminars, and collaborative research projects aimed at developing the next generation of scientists in the field.
