Documentary on ARTE "Riechen – Auf der Fährte des verkannten Sinns" A new documentary on ARTE, "Riechen – Auf der Fährte des verkannten Sinns" shows in a multifaceted way how important the sense of smell is. The program, featuring Prof. Dr. Daria Knoch (starting at minute 25), can be watched on YouTube. Click on this news to watch.
Welcome! We are delighted to welcome our new PhD student Lucca Brandner. She has a strong interest in sleep research, with a focus on using EEG to explore neural activity during sleep, particularly investigating sleep-EEG markers and their connection to behavioral preferences.
Welcome! We are happy to welcome our new doctoral student Alessandro Valvo. He has a keen interest in exploring the neural and cognitive processes that drive decision-making in pro-social and pro-environmental behaviors through the analysis of behavioral patterns and EEG data.
Welcome! We are delighted to welcome postdoctoral researcher Dr. Andjela Markovic to our department. Her research focuses on the influence of genetic and environmental factors on brain development and function, and in particular the interaction with sleep.
Welcome! A warm welcome to our new postdoctoral researcher Dr. Zoé Bollen. She explores the cognitive processes underlying decision-making through the use of behavioral and eye-tracking measures.
Congratulations! Congratulations to Mirjam Studler and Emmanuel Guizar Rosales on successfully obtaining their doctoral degree. In her doctoral thesis, Mirjam used EEG to decode the sleeping mind, while in his doctoral thesis, Emmanuel used fMRI to study the neural basis of sustainable behavior. Both will stay with us a bit longer as postdocs and we couldn’t be happier.
Congratulations! Congratulations to Annika Wyss on successfully obtaining her doctoral degree for her thesis "Human Behavior and the Anthropocene - Studying the Determinants of Pro-Environmental Behavior from an Environmental Psychological Perspective". We wish her lots of success and good luck for the future!
Welcome! A warm welcome to our new postdoctoral researcher Dr. Marina Wunderlin. She is a cognitive neuroscientist with a focus on sleep research.
Brain Stimulation Team An exciting experiment with non-invasive brain stimulation is starting soon - here's our great brain stimulation team!
Congratulations to Benedikt Langenbach on obtaining his doctoral degree In his doctoral thesis, Benedikt studied the brain processes involved in sustainable decision-making. He will leave our department by the end of 2019. We wish him lots of success and good luck in his new position at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE).
