Our Vision
Our main goal is to learn about how our experiences and the world around us can change the way we act and how our brains work. We want to discover ways that can actually help people and improve their life quality by enhancing the cognitive and perceptual experiences in an uncertain world. We do this by studying how our brain circuits adapt when our environment or important life events change. We use the latest research methods to find useful approaches that can improve people’s lives and also push the field of neuroscience forward in a practical and helpful way.
