The aim of our studies is the assessment of pathophysiologically relevant processes and beyond that the measurement and prediction of neural changes within therapeutic intervention studies. To do so we use electrophysiological approaches (electroencephalography, EEG; elektromyography, EMG; evoked potentials, EP; electrodermal aktivity, EDA) as well as the technique of near-infrared spectroscopy, an optical imaging method that non-invasively measures brain oxygenation at a good temporal resolution.

With regards to content, the majority of the current studies focuses on the function of the prefrontal cortex, investigating executive control mechanisms such as inhibition, response control and monitoring as well as conflict processing. Additionally, higher-order processes such as working memory, approach-avoidance behavior, and emotion regulation are being investigated. Another main research focus is the combination of methods to aid a better understanding of the pathophysiology of mental disorders and the mechanisms of therapeutic interventions.
