马克斯·普朗克人类认知与脑科学研究所成立于2004年,由马克斯·普朗克神经心理学研究所和心理学研究所合并而成。随着马克斯·普朗克人类认知和脑科学研究所的成立,马克斯·普朗克学会为人类认知的行为和神经生物学基础领域的跨学科合作研究创造了独特的条件。
研究所的目标是研究人类的认知能力和大脑过程。研究的一个主要重点是高级大脑功能的神经元基础,如语言,情感和社会行为,音乐和行动。人类如何感知、加工、计划和生产,以及感知和生产如何相互影响是研究所的关键研究对象。
在心理和神经科学研究方面的悠久传统的背景下,研究所的超现代技术设备为这里研究的理论工作领域的主题性和吸引力提供了一个特殊的框架。现代成像技术在传统行为科学方法中也变得越来越重要,这些技术在研究所得到维护,马克斯·普朗克人类认知和脑科学研究所在一个地方提供了认知和脑科学领域建立的所有程序。研究了大脑的可塑性变化能力及其对各种认知能力的影响,以及高血压和肥胖等文明疾病的神经元和激素基础。此外,神经科学成像技术的进一步发展是研究的中心重点。
The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences was established in 2004 through the merger of the Max Planck Institute for Neuropsychology and the Institute of Psychology. With the establishment of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, the Max Planck Society has created unique conditions for interdisciplinary collaborative research in the fields of the behavioral and neurobiological foundations of human cognition.
The institute's goal is to study human cognition and brain processes. A major focus of the research is on the neuronal basis of higher brain functions such as language, emotion and social behavior, music and action. How humans perceive, process, plan and produce, and how perception and production affect each other are key subjects of study.
In the context of a long tradition of research in psychology and neuroscience, the Institute's ultra-modern technological facilities provide a special framework for the thematic and attractive nature of the field of theoretical work studied here. Modern imaging techniques are also becoming increasingly important in traditional methods of behavioral science, and these techniques are maintained at the Institute, where the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences provides all the programs established in the field of cognitive and brain sciences in one place. The ability of the brain to change in plasticity and its effects on various cognitive abilities, as well as the neuronal and hormonal basis of civilization diseases such as hypertension and obesity have been investigated. In addition, the further development of neuroscience imaging techniques is a central focus of the research.
