We are largely blind to our surroundings! The brain uses only a fraction of the input from the eyes. Instead, it often invents most of what we "see". Does this mean we can't trust our eyes? 👉 https://t.ly/WsaSC This snippet is part of our Science Walk.

Your emotions can make you ill! Brain and gut talk to each other. Feeling often anxious or disgusted? You might get sick more easily. But why? And what can you do? 👉https://t.ly/00TUf This snippet is part of our Science Walk.

🚶♀️➡️ 🧠 The Science Walk on our campus opens tomorrow! 🌿 🎉 Stroll through 12 info panels to dive into what captivates our scientists and join the 💡 quiz for a chance to win prizes! Can’t make it in person? Check it out online: https://lnkd.in/ewxub85E

What’s fueling the next big breakthrough in science? 🔬 We’re happy to share that researchers at the Max Planck Society have received 12 ERC Synergy Grants, leading this year's European Research Council (ERC) ranking. 🌍✨ With a 39% success rate among 31 proposals, 15 of our researchers are working on projects that could redefine fields across science, technology, and the humanities. From uncovering the secrets of gravitational waves to exploring cellular learning and interstellar astrochemistry, these initiatives aim to deepen our understanding of the universe and life itself. 🧬🔭 Each project is supported with up to €14 million over six years, fostering innovation and discovery throughout Europe and beyond. 💡 Read more about the projects, link in comments. #ERCSyG #Science

We are pleased to introduce our newly built research facility, which is run in collaboration between the Max Planck Research Groups of Brain States for Plasticity (PI: Dr. Svenja Brodt) and Translational Sensory and Circadian Neuroscience (PI: Prof. Dr. Manuel Spitschan). To mark the launch of this new lab, we invite you to attend our inaugural symposium on Nov 8, starting from 2:00pm. This event will feature leading experts in the field, including Prof. Dr. Charlotte Helfrich-Förster (Würzburg), recognized for her research on the circadian clock in the drosophila fly, Prof. Dr. Monika Schönauer (Freiburg), expert in the field of memory (re)processing during sleep and Dr. Christine Blume (Basel), who will take us on her pioneer journey into circadian and sleep science communication.
