Research focus

Psychotic disorders are characterized by perceptual and thought disturbances such as hallucinations and delusions. The main focus of the Translational Psychiatry Lab is to improve the understanding of the neuronal mechanisms giving rise to psychosis using state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and EEG as well as psychophysics, eye tracking, transcranial magnetic stimulation and computational modelling.

The principal investigator of the Lab is Prof. Dr. Philipp Sterzer.
