Welcome to the Otto Creutzfeldt Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience

We welcome Robert Stojan from the Institute of Sport and Exercise Sciences as a new member of the Otto Creutzfeldt Center in 2024.

Robert Stopjan works on questions about

•  
• Virtual Reality to Investigate Everyday Like Motor-Cognitive Behaviour
• Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
• Neurocognition and Aging
• Parkinson’s Disease and Freezing of Gait

We welcome Nils Winter from the Institute for Translational Psychiatry as a new member of the Otto Creutzfeldt Center in 2024.

Nils Winter says about his work:

"I have a background in psychology, with specializations in cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology. Early in my academic journey, I developed a fascination with computer science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. As a researcher, I enjoy exploring the interplay between these fields, using statistical modeling and machine learning techniques to investigate and address questions related to mental disorders."

In our OCC PhD Program we welcome Martina Saltafossi. Her research is based on the contexts  "Recent research has unveiled the profound influence of respiration on behavior and neural activity, suggesting it acts as a clock mechanism aligning behavior with brain dynamics. These findings open up intriguing avenues for understanding the translational implications of fundamental research in clinical contexts." The project is supervised by OCC members Prof. Dr. Joachim Gross and Prof. Dr. Markus Lappe. The PhD Committee is completed by Dr. Daniel Kluger.
