Our group studies the neuroscience of auditory cognition, speech perception, and verbal communication. We are interested in the roles of sensory and language networks in these cognitive functions. We use intracranial electrophysiology in clinical settings (iEEG/ECoG), scalp electrophysiology (EEG and MEG), and psychophysics, as well as advanced computational methods to map between neural and cognitive processes.

We are located at the Center for Integrative Neuroscience, an interdisciplinary research institution at the Eberhard-Karls-University Tübingen. The CIN strives to deepen our understanding of brain function and its impairment by disease. We seek to make use of newly acquired insights to help people with brain disorders and to launch new mind- and brain-inspired applications in many areas of engineering and computer science.
