We investigate cognition and behavior in older people and in clinical populations (e.g. people with Alzheimer's dementia or Parkinson's disease) in an outpatient setting. Our research also focuses on outpatient non-pharmacological interventions (e.g. cognitive training) for the prevention of cognitive decline. We want to record cognition and behavior in people's everyday lives in order to better understand and improve outpatient neuropsychological diagnostics and integrate effective non-pharmacological interventions into patients' everyday lives.

Hearing loss is common and hearing solutions that are currently available are not satisfactory for all users. Therefore, many researchers are working on improving existing solutions and developing new ones. I am investigating whether a low intensity current (transcranial alternating current stimulation) that is applied to the scalp can help us to hear better. This project is a part of the Hearing4all cluster of excellence Hearing4all.

Even months after a COVID-19 infection some people are still severely restricted in their everyday lives. For example, they suffer from exhaustion, pain, shortness of breath or difficulty concentrating. The symptoms vary greatly from person to person and can change over time. I would like to find out why varying complaints improve or worsen in different people. I focus particularly on neurocognitive symptoms, for example difficulties with attention, memory or finding words. The results are supposed to lead to a better understanding of this new disease and provide ideas for therapeutic approaches.

My research interests lie in investigating the influence of contextual factors on perception and learning. I am particularly interested in how we can communicate effectively with each other despite distracting background noise and the role of social factors such as sympathy. In my studies, I measure brain activity in audiovisual, virtual environments to improve attention and understanding of speech. In addition, I have investigated the effects of sleep and distraction on motor imagery, a technique in which movements are only imagined and not executed and used in rehabilitation, among other things. By using mobile technologies, I aim to make my research findings transferable to people's everyday lives.
