  • Profile

    My research vision is to understand the neural circuitry of mental functions by
    using state-of-the-art technology and with a strong focus on the Deep Brain – a
    highly uncharted territory in the brain. My work combines mathematical modeling with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), ultra-high resolution 7T MRI, electroencephalography (EEG), and postmortem studies.
