Welcome to the CoMind Lab!

Our research group studies decision-making under uncertainty, such as in the emergency room, to gain a clearer understanding of how medical diagnosis and other high-risk decisions can be improved.

The CoMind Lab at INGRoup 2025

We’re excited to announce that the CoMind Lab will host a workshop at this year’s INGRoup conference on July 17 2025 in Rotterdam:

“Team Research Reimagined: Applying Diverse Perspectives on Team Interactions.”

Join us to explore a wide range of methods in team research—from ethnographies to behavioral observations in simulation settings. Whether you’re new to team studies or looking to broaden your methodological toolkit, this workshop offers fresh insights and inspiration.

Ongoing study

How is teamwork experienced in the diagnostic process of emergency care?

The ethnographic research team at our lab explores this question through in-depth observations and interviews in Swiss emergency departments.
