EEG lab
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a way of measuring brain waves exhibited in cortical areas of the central nervous system. Several states as well as reaction sequences can thus be differentiated and connected to behavior of human beings.

Movement lab
We capture human motion by tracking infrared markers with a 3D-camera-system, to examine processes that underlie motion planning, reveal otherwise covert movement structure, or uncover effects of simultaneous cognitive processing.
Optical Imaging Lab
Voltage imaging enables visualization of ongoing brain dynamics giving access to the coordinated activation pattern of millions of neurons. Spatiotemporal patterns of activity play an essential role in memory consolidation - by maintaining specific internal representations of past experiences - and in feature binding through immediate interactions across activity triggered by current sensory events.
Psychophysics labs
Psychophysics engages with the perceptual conditions, which can be explained by the characteristics and performance of perception.
Robotics Lab
The robotics lab is where the autonomous robotics group tests cognitive architectures on robots.
The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a research unit of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Its scientific goal is to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental psychology and neurophysiology as well as machine learning, neural artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
