Neurolab
At the Neurolab, research is done on issues of brain activation patterns that form the basis for different skills and learning processes.
Focus on intelligence
The first core area investigates how brain activation of gifted people differs from that of less gifted people and if an efficient use of the brain (e.g. via training programs) can be acquired. Research focuses on cognitive skills (intelligence), which are important for scholastic learning.
Focus on problem solving
The second area of research focuses on brain activation when solving problems of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology.
Insights into thought processes
The data from the Neurolab obtained by the Chair for Research on Teaching and Instruction complement the results from behavioral studies and can thus provide additional insights into thought processes.
