Research

..... at the IMP focuses on the following topics:

  • Working memory (visual and auditory)
  • Perception and attention (auditory and multisensory)
  • Motor activity, rhythmicity and learning
  • Nicotine addiction

Funding: German Research Society (DFG) and State of Hessen (LOEWE).

Selected cooperation partners:

  • Department of Neurology (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis)
  • Department of Child and Youth Psychiatry (autism)
  • Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (cancer therapy)
  • Institute of Psychology (attention and working memory)
  • Medical Psychology, Univ. of Freiburg (working memory)
