Welcome

I am a cognitive neuroscientist interested in the question how stimulus properties and higher cognitive processes influence unisensory and multisensory processing in the human brain. A particular focus of my research is on the examination of synchronized oscillatory activity in healthy persons, clinical populations, and persons with sensory deprivations. My recent studies also focus on the crossmodal biasing of pain.
