At the Behaviour and Brain Lab at the University of Würzburg led by Prof. Dr. Mona Garvert, our mission is to understand the neuro-computational mechanisms underlying human learning, behaviour and cognition.
We're always looking for talented and motivated students who are interested in joining us on this mission! Contact us if you are interested in doing your Masters thesis with us, or check out open positions below.
By integrating neuroscientific techniques, advanced behavioural analysis and computational modelling, we aim to contribute to the broader understanding of the human brain and its functions. Our ultimate goal is to translate our findings into practical applications that improve mental health, optimize learning strategies, and enhance overall well-being.
How does the brain represent knowledge about the world?
How is this knowledge used to guide decisions?
How do these processes go wrong in psychiatric disorders?
We use techniques such as behavioural experiments, virtual realiy, computational modeling and functional magnetic resonance imaging to answer these questions.
