Curriculum Vitae

Since 2002
Group Leader at the Department of Neurology (Head of department:  Prof Dr. H.-J. Heinze). My workgroup focusses on the neural basis of visual perception, motor action and their interaction in "natural" every day life conditions. Methodologically we investigate ways using machine learning and engineering approaches to better understand brain function. Our methods include psychophysics, fMRI, ECoG, EEG/MEG, and eye movement measurements. See Research for more details.

Since 2009
Visiting Researcher in Robert T. Knight's Lab at the Hellen Will Neuroscience Institute, UC Berkeley, CA, USA
