Susan Fischer

Susan Fischer is a Professor in the Department of Computational Neuroscience at the Max Planck Society, serving as Coordinator of the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship. Her institutional affiliation is with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany, where she leads research activities and maintains contact via susan.fischer@tuebingen.mpg.de and phone numbers +49 7071 601 1638 / +49 7071 601 616.

Her research centers on Computational Neuroscience, employing mathematical and computational frameworks to model brain function. This interdisciplinary work bridges neuroscience, computer science, and cognitive psychology, with specific focus on neural network simulations and cognitive modeling to decode information processing in biological systems. The field integrates theoretical approaches with empirical data to advance understanding of perception, learning, and decision-making mechanisms.

Dr. Fischer directs an active research team within the Department of Computational Neuroscience, with laboratory facilities at Max-Planck-Ring 8, 72076 Tübingen. The group participates in the institute's well-established research ecosystem and actively recruits new members as indicated by the 'Join the lab' section on their webpage, fostering collaboration in cutting-edge neurocomputational studies.
