By uniting experts in philosophy, fine arts and music, psychology, physics, cognitive neuroscience, neuro-engineering, and machine learning and IT, we give our research a distinct cross-disciplinary profile – providing translational relevance across industry and clinical settings.
Internationally-recognised, the teams involved have strong relationships with all relevant key institutes and industry. The network members collaborate extensively – they co-author, co-supervise, run joint research projects and share leadership in international networks and scientific associations.
