The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences

The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences is a leading research center in Germany dedicated to understanding how the brain supports thinking, memory, perception, and language. It combines neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science to explore how our minds work and how brain activity relates to behavior. The institute conducts experiments, develops new technologies, and collaborates internationally to uncover the neural basis of human cognition, ultimately aiming to improve knowledge about mental processes and brain health.
