Passecker Lab

System Neuroscience in Innsbruck

We are intrigued by the question on how our brains derives at decisions. Decisions that are the results of sometimes complex thought processes influenced by our experiences and our environment.  Underlying thought processes that can when going awry result in the expression of symptoms reminiscent of severe neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. We apply advanced machine learning, behavioral modelling as well as neural probes to investigate information processing of prefrontal neuronal pathways that underlie cognitive decision processes.  To learn more, visit our Research page.  The lab opened in 2022, and we continue to welcome interested students, individuals and partners to help push the frontiers of Neuroscience – just reach out – positions will open in 2025
