The research group focuses on the complex study of mental functions (especially cognition) and their biological substrate. Using modern imaging methods (fMRI, EEG), we study the neurobiological correlates of cognitive function, but we also focus on cognition and its changes in individual development (ontogeny) and in a comparative perspective between different species.

We focus mainly on autobiographical memory, theory of mind and time perception. All these cognitive domains are closely linked not only to the representation of the world around us, but also to the representation of the self. 

Thus, a deeper understanding of these cognitive mechanisms and their ontogenetic development allows us not only to describe their underlying mechanisms, but also to understand their pathophysiology in neuropsychiatric diseases, which can then become a valuable tool for diagnosis.
