As part of DFG-funded Research Group 778 “Conflicts as Signals” (spokespersons: Prof. Peter Frensch, Prof. Stephan Brandt, Prof. Birgit Stürmer), seven subprojects are being funded in two funding phases. This research group, based in Berlin, is located at the interface between cognitive research and neuroscience. It investigates the emergence, processing, and, in particular, the consequences of conflicts in the human cognitive system.
