Leibniz Prize 2010: 10 winners receive honor, prize money and 'idyllic freedom'
Date:12/8/2009

ophy, Petra Schwille worked with the Nobel Prize recipient Manfred Eigen in Gttingen and received her doctoral degree in Braunschweig. As a postdoctoral researcher she went to Gttingen and to Cornell University. She then returned to Gttingen to the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, where she set up her own independent junior research group. In 2002 she was called to chair Biophysics at the Dresden University of Technology.

Prof. Dr. Stefan Treue (45), Primate Cognitive Neuroscience, German Primate Centre, Gttingen

Stefan Treue is being honoured for his work in the field of attention research. The main focus of Treue's research is on the principles of attention control, which are among the basic features of the higher brain functions. In studies which have received worldwide acclaim, he has demonstrated the influence of attention on motion processing and on the perception and processing of sensory stimulants, and shown the extent of this influence. The results of his work have a great influence on many areas of brain research. It was also due to Treue's work that it is now clear that neuronal activities on various levels of the visual system are influenced by attention. He showed that attention phenomena already play an important role during the processing of information in areas of the brain, which it had previously been assumed could not be reached by cognitive processes. Above and beyond neuroscience, these findings are of great interest to neurology, psychiatry and psychology. And in view of the rise in psychogenic attention disorders and other disease-related attention disorders, Treue's work also has considerable relevance beyond basic research in the world of clinical practice.

Stefan Treue studied biology in Frankfurt am Main and Heidelberg before receiving his doctoral degree in the United States at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology. When he returned to Germany he received his habilitation for
