the lab @ PuG 2023 in Tübingen
Home game for our lab at this year’s conference „Psychologie und Gehirn“ of the German Psychological Society, Biopsychology Section in Tübingen. On Wednesday, Svenja B is part of a panel discussion on good working conditions for science. On Thursday, Svenja B is chairing a symposium on „Brain State-Dependent Information Processing: Understanding the Link between Memory Consolidation, Reactivation and Sleep“ together with Niels Niethard, in which Florentine is sharing her research on information processing in the wake-sleep transition. Finally, Svenja K will present her work on „Specialized Memory Subsystems for Detailed and Conceptual Information Assessed with Multimodal MRI“ in Philipp Paulus‘ & Heidrun Schultz‘ symposium on internal representations of our environment on Friday.
