The Cooperative Brain Imaging Center is a unique collaboration between Goethe University, the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, and the Ernst Strüngmann Institute of the Max Planck Society. It combines state-of-the-art imaging technologies with interdisciplinary teams of experts. Two 3-Tesla and one 7-Tesla MRI scanner, as well as a 275-channel magnetoencephalograph, enable highly precise investigations of brain function—such as music, language, memory, movement, and social behavior—across all stages of life.

This takes RESEARCH on a wide range of topics—including music, language, social behavior, memory, and movement—in health and disease across the various stages of life to an entirely new level.
TEACHING & EVENTS
In addition to lectures, CoBIC also hosts weekly CoBIC meetings featuring project presentations and talks, as well as public events such as the popular “Hirngespinste” series, which features neuroscience talks accompanied by music.
STUDY PARTICIPATION
CoBIC’s research focuses on the brain-based foundations of language and memory, neurological and psychiatric disorders, and the neural mechanisms underlying human cognition, skill acquisition, and creativity.
