MINDLab

 

Welcome

MINDLab is a cross-cutting neuroscience and cognition research framework at Aarhus University, funded by the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation as part of the Danish governments UNIK initiative, aiming to promote world-class research at Danish Universities.

MINDLab is based on fruitful collaborations among leading research groups across Faculties and Institutes at Aarhus University, centered at the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) and the research focus area Cognition, Communication and Culture (CCC). The project expands and strengthens this collaboration, addressing central scientific problems within culture, music, language and memory. Combining this knowledge with research on novel technologies to examine the living brain, and on the most devastating neurological and psychiatric disorders, we hope to create new means to preserve and recover function and quality-of-life in relation to diseases accounting for 35% of the disease burden in Denmark. MINDLab will also develop new forms of teaching and sharing of knowledge, exploiting crucial synergies across traditional disciplines.
