Understanding the brain with artificial intelligence

Dominik Bach is a new Hertz Professor at the University of Bonn and combines neuroscience with mathematics The University of Bonn has once again received excellent reinforcement: Dominik Bach now fills a so-called Hertz Chair, which is designed to combine disciplines in a unique way. The internationally renowned psychologist, physician and mathematician will establish a new focus at the interface between neuroscience, psychiatry and computer science in the Transdisciplinary Research Area "Life and Health". He and his team want to use mathematical methods to decipher how the brain works. To this end, they analyze human behavior in extreme situations. Major societal challenges and the complex questions they raise cannot be answered by any one scientific discipline alone. Dominik Bach's interdisciplinary approach therefore fits perfectly into the concept of the six Transdisciplinary Research Areas (TRA), which the University of Bonn established more than two years ago in the course of the Excellence Strategy funding program.
