For my PhD with Dr. Travis Baker at the Laboratory for Cognitive Neuroimaging and Stimulation I use simultaneous EEG-fMRI, MEG, diffusion imaging, and their joint analysis to study oscillatiory signatures of goal-directed spatial navigation. In order to test the functional relevance of these oscillations for spatial memory and reinforcement learning in humans, my main focus is on developing a real-time closed-loop EEG-TMS system giving phase specific stimulation at a higher precision than conventional phase prediction systems.

With my writing I present the life experience of people most do not pay attention to. This can be due to their social, mental or medical condition. My most recent work is a couple of German popular science and self help books, communicating psychological science behind loneliness and emotion. My goal is to contribute to broadening the public understanding of mental illness and everyday psychology.
