Göttingen Cognition & Behavior Research
Welcome to the "Göttingen Cognition & Behavior" - Insights into cognition and behavior research at the Göttingen Campus!
We are an interdisciplinary team of cognitive scientists, behavioral biologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and data scientists studying social interactions, decision-Imaking, exploration, curiosity, foraging, partner choice, and Theory of Mind.
We entertain variour research initiatives, which are united under this channel:
• Leibniz ScienceCampus Primate Cognition (2015-2025)
• SFB 1528 - Cognition of Interaction (since 2022)
• RTG 2906 Curiosity (since 2024)
• RTG 2070 Understanding Social Relationships (2015-2024)
• Human Cognition and Behavior (HuCaB) Research Center and Building, currently under construction at the University of Göttingen.
We thank our funders: Leibniz Association, DFG, Volkswagen Foundation, MWK & BMBF
