Our research group uses modern methods of cognitive behavioural research (behavioural tests and ambulatory assessments) and neurophysiology (fMRI, DTI/VBM, EEG/fMRI, EEG, MEG, EEG/MEG, PET, and imaging genetics) to understand neurocognitive mechanisms of mental resilience of stress-related diseases. Thematic focuses are the systematic study of self-control as a resilience mechanism, in particular the cognitive domains of emotion regulation (ER), impulse control (IC), attention (AC), and social interaction, as well as the translational mechanisms of stress vaccination, taking into account interindividual differences and age processes. Neuronally, hypotheses on oscillatory mechanisms and differences in network excitability on individual resilience are investigated.
