Quote ETH Life:
"Isabelle Mansuy conducts research into the fundamental mechanisms of learning and memory at the highest international level. Her broad spectrum of methods extends from gene analysis through the analysis of complex behaviour to non-invasive imaging of the brain. Through this multidisciplinary approach, combined with an extensive international network, she has succeeded in achieving pioneering research results."
"Michael Siegrist is an internationally recognised behavioural psychologist who during his scientific career has focused on three core areas: the relationship between people's trust in information and individual opinion-forming, the influence of information and communication with regard to individual and collective decision-making processes, as well as the origins of consumer preferences with regard to activities, technologies and events that are – or are perceived to be – high-risk."
