Surname, First name Research Focus Availability
Brandt, Thomas In the Institute of Clinical Neurosciences, studies address vestibular function in health and disease from eye movement recordings to perception using various methods such as psychophysical measurements, eye movement recordings, fMRI and computational modeling. TBA
Franzmeier, Nicolai Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is highly prevalent in the elderly and occurs in up to 80% of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. CAA is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta in the vessel walls, which leads to vessel dysfunction and often results in hemorrhagic stroke. This project seeks to understand the factors contributing to the progression of brain injury in CAA. not available
Hemmert, Werner We focus our research on the auditory system where we combine modelling studies with experiments to develop novel approaches for the advancement of neuroprosthetics. TBA
Herz, Andreas Data analysis, computational/mathematical modelling and theoretical investigation of neurobiological mechanisms underlying spatial orientation and navigation. Focus: Single-cell and network behavior of head-direction and grid-cell systems within the rodent entorhinal cortex. TBA
Sirota, Anton Our research is focused on the mechanisms of information representation and propagation within and across different cortical networks. TBA
Wachtler, Thomas We perceive visual features such as color, form, or size of objects not in isolation but depending on the visual context. Contextual influences are thought to play an important role in reliable and efficient perception. In this project we will perform quantitative measurements of visual performance and use models of neural processing to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying contextual influences on visual perception.
