Across projects, we aim to provide answers to four questions: 

(1) What are the underlying neurobiological and cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to adapt their behavior in response to unexpected or sudden changes in the environment?

(2) How do these mechanisms and the resulting behavior develop during an individual's lifetime?

(3) What are the consequences if individuals are better (or just less) able to adapt their behavior?

(4) How has the ability to adapt behavior evolved (and are there species that are better or less able to adapt their behavior)?

The general lab rule is that data should be as open as possible, as closed as necessary.

For most projects, you can find the data on the Open Science Framework. 

We also share our analysis scripts and other software (including STOP-IT) via this platform.
