Research focus
Cognitive neuroscience
Learning, remembering, predicting – researchers aim to understand these processes from the molecular to the behavioural level. To this end, scientists from the fields of psychology, biology, medicine, philosophy and computer science cooperate, even extending their collaboration into sports science, education or geography. The team at Ruhr University Bochum works closely with the University Alliance Ruhr and its location at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
