MINDLab Details
At Aarhus University, anchored at CFIN, the research cluster CCC (Cognition, Communication, and Culture), the key research area RCC (Religion, Cognition and Culture), and the Music in the Brain research group (a collaboration between CFIN and The Royal Academy of Music) a unique collaboration has evolved across disciplines: Physicists, statisticians, philosophers, organizational theorists, anthropologists, psychologists, musicologists, linguists, scholars of religion, biologists and physicians work together in an effort to understand the brain, its disorders and its development through physical and social interactions – and vice versa. This work has created methodological and conceptual breakthroughs, as well as innovative approaches to the treatment of severe neurological and psychiatric disorders. This productive environment has attracted some of the most influential international cognitive neuroscientists to Aarhus. MINDLab will allow researchers to address central scientific problems within culture, music, language and memory. Combining this knowledge with research on the most devastating neurological and psychiatric disorders, this effort seeks to preserve and recover function and quality-of-life in relation to diseases accounting for 35% of the disease burden in Denmark. MINDLab will also develop new forms of teaching and sharing of knowledge, exploiting crucial synergies across traditional disciplines.
