Description The “Vision and Motor System Research Group” (VMSRG) is devoted to basic experimental as well as clinical research on the field of cognitive neurology and clinical neurophysiology of the visual and the motor system. Our principal goal is to apply novel findings from cognitive and psychophysiological research to current challenges in clinical neurology. In so doing we aim at contributing to improved diagnostic and therapeutical strategies for disorders of the visual and the motor system. Thus, we employ a rich interdisciplinary methodological repertoire to address the physiological complexity of the visual and the motor system and their interactions: We combine psychophysics (reaction time tasks, eye movement tracking, threshold estimation) and psychophysiological measures, e.g. obtained by electroencephalography (EEG) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), with modern innovations in transcranial brain stimulation. This includes our successful application of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS).

Description

The research group ‘Social Intelligence’ investigates the neuro-cognitive mechanisms underlying our ability to successfully navigate our social environment. We investigate dyadic interactions but also how the individual acts in groups. Furthermore, we study intentional control of behaviour and how high-level beliefs influence behaviour. Methodologically, we apply the whole range of neuroscientific methods such as mental chronometry, EEG and fMRI. Finally, we use virtual reality to investigate social processes.

Description Our research group analyses cellular mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration. The model system we focus on is the active touch / vibrissal system of mammals. We pursue research questions from a strictly systemic, neuroethological perspective. We pose a wide range of questions to understand better the systemic performance of active touch mediated by the vibrissae. We therefore investigate multiple brain structures and our investigations range from intracellular recordings to the analysis of behavioral performance.

Our group is active in the field of "neurophysics and cognition" in the following major areas: studies on the psychophysiology of motor intention - the 'free will' problem (together with KR Mueller at Fraunhofer FIRST; sensorimotor integration in language production (together with R. Hari at Espoo, Finland); studies on the psychophysiology of music perception (together with G. Neuloh at Neurosurgery of University Bonn); studies on the neurophysiological underpinnings of face recognition (together with the Departments of Psychology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin). Interdisciplinary approach. Our research is focused on the interface between human cortical neurophysiology and the humanities and encompasses a broad range of issues, covering the free will debate of philosophy, including also legal aspects such as 'lie detection', concepts of language production from linguistic psychophysiology, a variant of the nature/nurture dispute as exemplified by conscious versus unconscious processing of music stimuli which are either unknown or overlearned in the Western tonal tradition, and the role of memory and attention in the recognition of human faces as one perceptual key element influencing social interaction in peer groups.

Description My research is focused on stroke, cerebral blood flow regulation, and brain imaging. We explore mechanisms by which brain ischemia leads to cell death, and develop novel methods to intercept mechanisms of damage in acute brain damage, as well as to foster regeneration and repair of the lesions. In clinical trials we validate our experimental findings and test the bedside efficacy of therapeutic strategies developed at the bench. Closely linked to the interest in stroke pathophysiology, which is caused by a focal reduction in blood flow to the brain, is our interest in the mechanisms that couple regional blood flow to neuronal acitivity, a mechanisms that is underlying functional brain imaging with MR and PET.

Description Early adverse experience, such as childhood abuse, neglect and loss, is a major risk factor for the development of a wide range of psychiatric disorders and certain medical diseases later in life. My research employs a multi-methodological approach to integrate clinical and developmental psychology with methods from functional and structural neuroimaging, neuroendocrinology, immunology, and genetics to elucidate the role of developmental factors in contributing to the psychobiological basis of complex psychiatric and somatic disorders. Results from this research will ultimately lead to improved diagnosis of cases at risk versus resilience, as well as targeted prevention and treatment, through an integrated consideration of early developmental and biological processes.

Description My research areas include statistical learning theory for neural networks, support vector machines and ensemble learning techniques. My contributions have furthermore covered the field of adaptive signal processing with emphasis on time-series analysis, statistical denoising methods and blind source separation. Application interests are currently focussed on the analysis of biomedical data, in particular on single trial analysis of electro-encephalography (EEG) data, which has most recently led to the successful establishing of the Berlin brain computer interface (jointly with Charité). Furthermore I have contributed to the application of machine learning techniques to genomic data, more precisely to microarray data analysis and to genefinding. Another important application focus is on hacker intrusion detection using machine learning technology for finding previously unseen attacks from network data. The major objective of my research is to pursue research all the way from theory to application. To this end, I am contributing to the generic theoretical development of new and well-founded data analysis and machine learning techniques that can be used in the natural sciences and in industry. At the same time the aim is to contribute to a better understanding and furthering of the underlying scientific question.

Description Methodologically centred around non-invasive optical techniques my work is grouped around three major issues. Investigating the basis of vascular imaging we address questions concerned with neurovascular coupling. We are interested e.g. in the vascular response to neuronal inhibition. The methodology also is valuable in infant research, where we address issues of language acquisition. Finally stroke research especially bedside monitoring of perfusion is a clinical focus of research.

Description Motives and modulators of human decision making What drives us to trust someone we just met? Did we eat spaghetti for lunch because we saw our colleague eating it? Can we become happier when we are nicer to our neighbors? How does the content of our breakfast have anything to do with our social interactions throughout the day? Research from different disciplines such as economics, psychology and neuroscience have attempted to investigate the motives and modulators of human decision making. Our decisions can be flexibly modulated by the different experiences we have in our daily lives. These modulations can occur through our social networks, through the impact of our own behavior on the social environment, but also simply by the food we have eaten. My research aim is to shed light on the psychological, neural and metabolic motives and modulators of human decision making.

Description

My work focuses on the interface between neuroscience and philosophy. Central issues are consciousness, self-consciousness and free will. I am particularly interested in understanding how first person experience is related to third person neuroscience and how empirical results concerning decision making can be integrated into an adequate theory of human freedom and responsibility. In addition, I work on the ethical consequences of neuroscientific research.

Description Our expertise lies in psychometric modelling and causal inference. Relevant for M&B is our research on the interface of psychometrics and computational modelling of decision making processes. In our research, we bring together single-trial models for describing behavioural data in decision making (e.g. diffusion models) with psychometric models that account for interindividual differences (e.g., dynamic latent variable models). For that we cooperate with neurocognitive research groups focusing on perceptual decision making.

Research area Active vision, Attention, Sensorimotor learning, Visual Memory, Perceptual cognition
Description The goal of our research is to understand the phenomenology, architecture and plasticity of active perceptual (mostly vision) and cognitive processes (attention, memory, learning, causality). To this end, we use a wide range of methods, including eye tracking, motion tracking, psychophysics, EEG, computational and statistical modeling, as well as studies of clinical populations (in collaboration with other sites). Our research builds on the realization that any deep understanding of perception and cognition requires studying its key processes in observers that act their environment.

Wagner, Verena Prof. Dr.
Function Full Professor in Philosophy of Mind
Current status Faculty member, Executive Academic Director of the Berlin School of Mind and Brain
Research area Epistemology, Philosophy of Mind; Philosophy of Language
Description

I am working at the intersection of philosophy of mind and epistemology. In particular, I am interested in the nature of mental states and attitudes in the vicinity of cognitive neutrality, e.g., agnosticism, ignorance, doxastic indecision, suspension of judgment and belief. In this context, I am also exploring how mental attitudes and activities relate to inquiry and deliberation (the “zetetic turn” in epistemology). I hold a pluralist view on cognitive neutrality, and I think that we should be clear about the nature of mental states and processes before we think of their respective normative profiles. For example, some forms of cognitive neutrality seem to be agential which has implications for their rationality.
I am also interested in the phenomena of deception (self or other) and disinformation (see DFG priority program “Rethinking Disinformation (Re:DIS)”). In particular, I study the notion of bullshitting which I analyse as giving fake answers to questions under discussion (QUDs). I try to make my philosophical work on fake answers accessible for broader audiences (see my outreach project on bullshit and fake answers): https://verenawagner.net/bullshit-fake-antworten
In previous work, I was concerned with the debate on free will (or our lack thereof). In my PhD-thesis, I suggested a theory of freedom of action that is compatible with determinism as well as indeterminism. After that, I worked on applications of the compatibilist free will debate to the doxastic realm (doxastic freedom and doxastic compatibilism).
