Neural control of human freeze-fight-flight (NEURODEFENSE)
Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,
This study investigates the mechanistic bases of human freeze-fight-flight reactions.The ability to control our social behavior is essential for almost every social interaction. It frequently fails in challenging situations when people fall back on basic defensive „freeze-fight-flight‟ (FFF) reactions. It chronically fails in social motivational disorders, with social anxiety as one extreme, and a ...

Trust & Reciprocity: neural and psychological models of social cooperation (NeuroCooperation)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,
Novel interdisciplinary approaches offer an exciting avenue to study interactive decision-making by combining the methods of behavioral experiments, functional neuroimaging, and formal economic models. This project employs this approach to explore decision-making related to trust, reciprocity, cooperation and fairness in social interactive scenarios. These processes are vital for the successful fu ...

On the neural basis of working memory: How the brain retains information in the face of distraction (MEM_DISTRACTION)
Date du début: 1 août 2014, Date de fin: 20 nov. 2017,
Every time we open our eyes, we are bombarded with visual information. At the same time, we need to retain previously observed information to keep track of our goals and whereabouts. How can we remember relevant visual information when we are continuously processing new information? Recent studies have shown that when we have to maintain visual information over a short delay period, our visual sys ...

The neural implementation of contextual influences in speech perception (Speech in context)
Date du début: 1 août 2014, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2017,
Human listeners can perceive speech quite effortlessly, although it is, computationally, a very challenging task. An important reason why humans perform so well is because they make use of acoustic information that is available in the context. Such contextual information is useful because it provides a listener with information about a speaker's voice properties and his or her speaking rate. Altho ...

From neurons to behaviour: Context representation and memory reconsolidation in the entorhinal hippocampal system (RECONTEXT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
One of the most intriguing topics in neuroscience and memory research today is ‘reconsolidation’: the phenomenon that a brief reminder renders an already consolidated memory labile again and that this fragile memory requires de novo protein synthesis to be reconsolidated. However, the functional role and the neural mechanisms of reconsolidation in humans are unclear. Another exciting line of resea ...
