My name is Michael Gaebler. I’m a cognitive and neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig (Department of Neurology). My group, the Mind-Body-Emotion Group, is located there and at the Max Planck Dahlem Campus of Cognition in Berlin.

We study how mental processes like thoughts or feelings relate to brain-body and especially brain-heart interactions in pathology and health. To this aim, we conduct psychophysiological and neuroimaging studies in classical lab-based settings but also using real-world (e.g., ambulatory assessment) and naturalistic setups (e.g., immersive virtual reality).
