Our research: what we do at the lab

How do we perceive and understand the objects and agents in our environment, and how do we interact with the physical and communicate with the social world? To understand how we accomplish these complex tasks, we investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying language, vision, semantic and social processing and the multifaceted interplay of these core human faculties.

Abdel Rahman Lab is the department of neurocognitive psychology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin led by Rasha Abdel Rahman.
