Annual Report 2004 · 2005 Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig · Munich Editors: D. Yves von Cramon Angela D.

In 2004, it was still a merger on paper, but in 2005 it turned into reality. The Munich group, headed by Wolfgang Prinz, moved to Leipzig and resumed its work at the Institute. A number of exciting new collaborations are starting. Research at the centre addresses human cognitive and brain processes with particular emphasis on language, music, action and executive functions. During the period covered by this report – 2004/2005 – research has been flourishing at both places, Leipzig and Munich, and is now flourishing even more after the Munich branch has moved to Leipzig. The new Leipzig centre provides unique conditions for joint interdisciplin- ary research into the behavioral and neurobiological bases of human cognition. The merger is the first link in a chain of major changes and extensions we anticipate to see in the near future. Most importantly, we will soon be implementing two novel departments, one in Imaging Science and another one in Behavioral Cognitive Science. Further, to house the enlarged centre, an annexe will be raised on a plot adjoining our present building. Last but not least, a 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance To- mograph will soon be installed in a further special annexe. The system will add to the two 3 Tesla NMR systems that are already under operation. On a smaller scale, new research groups are coming and going. With regard to Independent Junior Re- search Groups, the present report covers two new groups – one on Neurotypology (headed by Ina Bornk- essel), and another one on Cognitive Psychophysiology of Action (headed by Edmund Wascher). Besides Independent Junior Research Groups this report also covers the work of four Research Groups from our Munich branch. Furthermore, Hans-Joachim Heinze from the University of Magdeburg, who was recently appointed Max Planck Fellow at the Institute, has started building up a new research group on Attention and Awareness. Finally, Yves von Cramon was appointed Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute for Neurological Research at Cologne. D. Yves von Cramon Angela D.
