Chair in Animal Physiology (Prof. Dr. Andreas Nieder)

We explore how higher brain functions arise from the activity of neurons within the brain.
Our topics are:         

• Number representations
• Categories, concepts & rules
• Learning and (working) memory
• Consciousness
• Vocalization & language precursors

We adopt an evolutionary-comparative approach by studying the behaviors & brains of crows, macaques, and (in collaboration) humans.
