For my internship I joined the “Social Systems and Circuits Group” which is part of the MPI for Brain Research, located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It focuses on identifying neural mechanisms for the processing and production of socially meaningful communication, with a particular emphasis on vocal communication. The research is carried out by studying […]
