Bridging the Gap
This video features some of the research conducted at the School. Doctoral students Daniel Margulies and Friederike Hohlefeld have both since earned their doctoral degrees and are now postdoctoral fellows.

A German version of our video (“Das Zusammenspiel von Gehirn und Geist”) can be found here on our website and on the DFG website: http://www.exzellenz-initiative.de/berlin-mind-brain

So You Want To Be A Scientist
This film (not to be taken entirely seriously!) introduces the audience to the rigorous admissions process at the School.
The film features: Prof. Dr. Ernst, Prof. Workenviel, Rappa Jay, and an assortment of hopeful contestants. Who will succeed? Who will join the School at the next student intake?

Was geschieht beim Lernen?
Was passiert, wenn wir etwas lernen? Nehmen wir tatsächlich mehr wahr oder können wir die Details einfach besser zuordnen? Dr. Thorsten Kahnt, Alumnus der Berlin School of Mind and Brain, hat es erforscht.

Breaking the Wall between People
@ Falling Walls Conference 2010
Tania Singer, director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig: What defines humans: self-interest, self-focus, empathy or compassion? While “exogenous” sciences like economy and sociology failed to give by themselves an exhaustive definition of human nature, producing partial concepts like the “homo economicus”, the answer might come from an “inside-out” approach.

Breaking the Wall between Mind and Machine
@ Falling Walls Conference 2009
Klaus Robert Müller, director of the Bernstein Center for Bernstein Focus Neurotechnology in Berlin, examines such computational challenges for non-invasive brain reading techniques in order to enhance human–device interactions – a development that will revolutionize not only medical applications, but our ways of approaching the common dichotomy between man and machine too.

Neuroscience and Free Will
Marcus Du Sautoy, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, participates in an experiment conducted by John-Dylan Haynes, Professor at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin, that attempts to find the neurological basis for decision-making.

Wie frei ist mein Gehirn?
Interview mit Michael Pauen. Die modernen Neurowissenschaften forschen über das menschliche Gehirn: Auf Millisekunden genau wurden Impulse im Gehirn gemessen, noch bevor der untersuchte Mensch wußte, daß er gerade dabei war, einen persönlichen Willen zu bilden.

Das Gehirn verstehen
Students at the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN), Ludwig-Maximilans-Universität München, all follow one major topic: how does the brain work? They approach this question from many different research disciplines such as neurobiology and psychology, but also electrical engineering or theoretical Biophysics. GSN also offers a 4-year fast-track program which enables exceptionally qualified students holding a Bachelor’s degree to pursue the PhD directly.
