CMC Unit

Computational Machinery of Cognition (CMC) Unit is a joint research unit aimed at uncovering the computational, biological, and ecological principles underlying adaptive decision-making. We combine computational methods with analyses of neural and behavioral data to investigate how different species adapt their decisions to the dynamics of their natural environments, while accommodating their embodied constraints.

The CMC Unit consists of two research hubs, the Natural Decision Making Group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the Natural Embodied Behavior Group at Dresden University of Technology, that jointly pursue this common vision.
