Application fields
The Multisensory Integration group is dedicated to the study of electrophysiological
signals in sensory and cognitive information processing in the human brain. We study
these processes in healthy individuals and in mentally ill people. A major focus of our
research is the investigation of neuronal synchronizations and their significance in norm-
appropriate and norm-deviant information processing. Our studies are conducted at St.
Hedwig Hospital, which houses a state-of-the-art EEG system (128 channels).
Responsibilities
• Preparation, implementation and analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) studies
on healthy individuals
• EEG data analysis: neuronal oscillations; source localization; computational modelling
• Publication of project data in peer-reviewed international journals
