General Psychology Lab

Welcome to the General Psychology Lab!

Our research is concerned with the basic functions of the mind - in particular with decision-making and how decisions are influenced by attention, learning and memory. We combine mathematical models of cognition with physiological and neuroscientfic methods (esp. eye tracking, fMRI, EEG) to achieve a comprehensive understanding of human cognition.
