<blockquote>
Psychologists live in an increasingly data-rich world, and our ability to make
continued progress in understanding the mind and brain depends on finding new
ways to organize and synthesize an ever-expanding body of knowledge.
<em>— Yarkoni, Curr. Dir. Psych. Science, 2012</em>

<p>Research in this lab focuses on the interface of computer and information
sciences, neuroscience, and psychology. We develop tools and strategies to
employ inter-disciplinary expertise in psychological and neuroimaging research.
Our projects range from tailored solutions to specific problems (e.g.
<a href="http://www.pymvpa.org/">PyMVPA</a>) to versatile research platforms
(e.g. <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/">NeuroDebian</a>) and data
management systems (e.g. <a href="http://datalad.org">DataLad</a>).</p>

<p>The jury of the <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/brain-art-competition-2021/home">
2021 OHBM Brain Art Competition</a> awarded our submission second place in the category
videos &amp; animations. The 1:20 min video is a visualization of the provenance information
captured by DataLad for processing 41,180 brain images from one of the largest datasets
of this kind, the <a href="https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk">UKBiobank</a>.

<p>Christian Olaf Häusler's popular science talk "Psychologie &amp;
Gehirnforschung treffen Hollywood: Was können Neurowissenschaftler in Deinem
Gehirn sehen, während Du einen Film schaust?" has been covered in
<em>Wolfenbüttler Schaufenster</em>:
<a href="/img/wolfenbuettler_schaufenster_20181020.png">"Ist unsere Wahrnehmung eine Interpretation des Gehirns?"</a>.</p>
<p>The use of complex natural stimuli in the lab's human imaging studies plays a
role in this <a href="https://www.swr.de/swr2/programm/sendungen/wissen/medizin-ohne-tierversuche/-/id=660374/did=22367746/nid=660374/1xjzwct/index.html">half-hour SWR2 radio feature on animal experiments in medical research</a>

<p>We participated in the <a href="http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/cobidas">Committee on Best Practice in Data Analysis and Sharing (COBIDAS)</a>
that produced a comprehensive report on how to conduct and report
neuroimaging studies to aid reproducibility in this area of research. This work
has been featured in the <em>New York Times</em> article
