Neue Ansätze in der Wissenschaft der sozialen Interaktion

Unser Labor widmet sich der Entschlüsselung der Komplexität menschlicher sozialer Interaktionen durch die Linse der sozialen kognitiven Neurowissenschaften. Wir erforschen, wie das Gehirn soziale Signale verarbeitet und darauf reagiert, und untersuchen die neuronalen und verhaltensbezogenen Dynamiken, die unseren Interaktionen mit anderen zugrunde liegen. Unsere Forschung umfasst sowohl die kognitive als auch die soziale Neurowissenschaft und nutzt innovative Methoden wie digitale Phänotypisierung und remote (bio)sensing durch tragbare Messgeräte, um Verhaltensweisen und physiologische Reaktionen in realen Umgebungen zu erfassen.

Ein zentraler Fokus unserer Forschung liegt auf der Untersuchung nonverbaler Kommunikation und der qualitativen Unterschiede in den einzelnen kommunikativen Verhaltensweisen sowie deren Integration, etwa durch Blicke und Gesten. Dabei interessieren uns insbesondere die zeitliche Dynamik und die Koordination von Verhaltensweisen sowohl auf dyadischer als auch auf intraindividueller Ebene, sei es in Interaktionen mit anderen Menschen oder virtuellen Charakteren.

Durch Verhaltensexperimente, Bewegungsanalysen, Mimikanalysen, Analyse von Sprachmustern, Eye-Tracking, psychophysiologische Messungen und Neuroimaging möchten wir die grundlegenden Mechanismen des sozialen Verhaltens und deren Abweichungen bei neuronalen Entwicklungsstörungen wie Autismus-Spektrum-Störung (ASS) und Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) und bei Störungen der sozialen Interaktion aufdecken. Darüber hinaus arbeiten wir an der Entwicklung von Diagnose- und Screeninginstrumenten, um die Erkennung und das Verständnis sozialer Interaktionsstörungen zu verbessern. Mit unserem interdisziplinären Ansatz streben wir danach, das Verständnis von sozialer Kognition und Sozialverhalten zu vertiefen und den Weg für neue Interventionen zu ebnen, die die soziale Funktionsfähigkeit verbessern und so zur psychischen Gesundheit beitragen.
