Neuro-cognitive psychology (NCP) at Ludwig Maximilians University Munich is a research program that focuses on the study of cognitive processes and their underlying neural mechanisms.
Key areas of research within NCP include memory, attention, perception, language, decision-making, and executive functions.
Researchers at LMU Munich’s NCP program use a variety of methods, including behavioral experiments, neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and EEG, and computational modeling to study the relationship between brain and behavior.
The program is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy to understand how the brain gives rise to complex cognitive functions.
NCP researchers at LMU Munich collaborate with other departments and institutions, both nationally and internationally, to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of cognitive neuroscience.
LMU Munich’s NCP program offers opportunities for students to pursue graduate studies and research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, providing them with a solid foundation for future academic and professional pursuits in the field.
