Projects¶
Main projects and grants we are part of. Click a project for more information. See also Brain models, Software, and Publications.
TRR 289 — Treatment Expectation
DFG Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio on the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms of treatment expectation and placebo/nocebo effects.
SFB 1280 — Extinction Learning
DFG Collaborative Research Centre on the neural, behavioural and clinical mechanisms of extinction learning.
ERA-NET NEUROFLEX
International consortium on cognitive flexibility and large-scale brain dynamics as targets for chronic pain.
Large-scale brain attractor networks
A scale-free, first-principles computational framework linking connectivity to activity across levels of description.
Predictive models
MRI-based brain signatures of behaviour and clinical traits, plus methods that make such models more robust and replicable.
Layer-fMRI and predictive processing
7T laminar fMRI to ask how cortical layers implement bottom-up sensory drive and top-down cognitive modulation.
Placebo Imaging Consortium
International consortium meta-analysing individual-participant fMRI of placebo analgesia.
RLBF — Reinforcement Learning via Brain Feedback
Closed-loop real-time fMRI in which reinforcement learning adapts stimuli from ongoing neural responses.
Scientific discourse & good practices
Comments, tools and papers on replicability, open science, and trustworthy predictive neuroimaging.
Other collaborations¶
Beyond the projects listed above, we contribute to many collaborations across pain research, computational neuroscience, neuroimaging methods, and clinical translation that are not listed here individually.
