Consultation hour for analysing fMRI data and other methodological questions
every Thursday 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, room A7-0-053 – Book an appointment here (Stud.IP)
Research profile
How is the organization of brain networks related to cognitive performance? To investigate this question, I use imaging techniques in combination with cognitive-enhancing drugs. I also have a strong focus on statistical methods.
Major research topics
- Effects of nicotine on attention performance
- Graph-theoretical analyses of functional brain networks
- Robust predective models for inter-individual differences
