Hooray: fresh fund­ing for a fresh idea

Imag­ine the brain’s intri­cate work not unlike a traf­fic round­about: sig­nals con­tin­u­ous­ly enter, yield, and merge — nev­er sta­t­ic, but rarely chaot­ic. This bal­ance between sta­bil­i­ty and flex­i­bil­i­ty (i.e., metasta­bil­i­ty) lies at the heart of a new inter­dis­ci­pli­nary neu­ro­science ini­tia­tive Jonas intends to pur­sue at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Lübeck.

Today, we are delight­ed that this ini­ta­tive by the work­ing title METAFLEX has received over 90,000 € start-up fund­ing from the Schleswig-Hol­stein Ideen­fonds. This sup­port will allow us to pilot exper­i­ments, bring researchers togeth­er, and set the stage for a future major research grant proposal.
