I am a biological psychologist / cognitive neuroscientist interested in the function of neuronal oscillations in cognition, in particular in the organization of information processing and the gating of synaptic plasticity in the wake and sleeping human brain. My methodological focus is on the simultaneous combination of electrophysiology with transcranial brain stimulation as well as neuroimaging techniques.
