Bio
I am
interested in the neural mechanisms underlying auditory temporal signal
processing in humans, namely in speech and music processing. I work
with electrophysiological methods (EEG), neuroimaging methods (fMRI), as
well as psychoacoustic and behavioural paradigms.
I received
a MSc. in psychology and economics from the University of Zurich and did my
master’s thesis at the Max-Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain
Sciences. In 2007 I completed my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of
Zurich. When joining Gablab in 2008, I began to investigate timing
perception and its influence in higher cognitive processing. I also
recently started to work with various patient groups.
