Welcome to our Webpages! The research of the lab focuses on all aspect of human spatial cognition, with a special focus on spatial reasoning and navigation. Our research methods include behavioral studies, functional brain imaging, and experiments in real and virtual environments. In the last years, the lab made significant contributions to the understanding of spatial cognition and spatial reasoning.

The lab is located at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Tübingen and the Center for Cognitive Science at the University of Freiburg. The group is part of the "Interdisciplinary Transregional Collaborative Research Center Spatial Cognition: Reasoning, Action, Interaction" (SFB/TR) located at the Universities of Freiburg and Bremen. The SFB/TR is part of an active and growing interdisciplinary international research network.
