PhD candidate, primarily supervised by Daniel Kaiser. Fascinated by the nature of representations and mechanisms that enable our visual experience. When not delving into matters of the brain, trains in MMA and consumes literature and TV across different genres and languages.
MD candidate (2024), co-supervised with Christian Doeller and Johanna Bergmann, tried to deepen our understanding of how the brain constructs relationships between objects/concepts and whether the underlying principles comply with spatial neural codes. Avid meditator, runner, Crossfitter, and soon-to-be doctor.
Research assistant (2021), studies Psychology at University of Halle-Wittenberg (B.Sc.). New to neuroscience and still searching for a topic she wants to focus on. Interested in sensory processing and dismantling the complexity of human perception. Into swimming, heated discussions, and spicy pho.
PhD candidate, primarily supervised by Katharina Dobs. Interested in how our brain processes and
organizes visual information. Has a passion for all kinds of dimensional approaches, ranging from
neural data analysis to distinguishing nuances in coffee flavor. Loves to spend his free time hiking in
the mountains or campervanning around the world.
Intern (2022), student of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan. Worked on analyzing brain activity using a computational model. His favorite German beer is SPATEN.
Research assistant, studies Data Science (M.Sc.) at Freie Universität Berlin. Interested in deep learning and its applications to neuroscientific research. Likes brain decoding, juggling and lasagna.
Master Student / research assistant, was a student of Computer Science (M.Sc.) at University of Leipzig. Worked on predicting brain activity with deep neural networks. Dreads the day his student software licenses run out.
Postdoctoral researcher, worked on acquiring massive functional and diffusion MRI data to learn more about the structure and function of visual cortex.
PhD candidate, co-supervised with Klaus-Robert Müller, working on methods for deciphering latent representations and using linear algebra for good. Things he loves: neural networks, making code run faster than the speed of light, and RückenFit.
Research assistant / Master student (2024) studied M.Sc. Medical Computer Science. Interested in how we perceive the world and form representations of it. Loves taking A1 language classes. All of them.
Student assistant / intern (2021), evaluating preprocessing and statistical pipelines for the analysis of large-scale fMRI data. Finds joy in dancing, swimming, and teaching her 3-year-old to snorkel.
Master student / Research assistant (-2021), Student of Psychology (M.Sc.) at University of Leipzig. Research Focus: object categorization, systems neuroscience. Interested in cacti, lemons, and the differences between them.
Postdoctoral researcher, Julia joined the lab briefly in summer 2024 as a PostDoc and took over some research data management tasks for the THINGS initiative. Her research interests are focused on reproducibility and replication of neuroimaging studies. She likes yoga, pasta, and bavarian beer.
PhD candidate, interested in how we make sense of the world around us and form representations of it. Interested in comparing similarity measures and identifying visual and sematic object dimensions. Likes to visit visual illusion museums.
PhD candidate, co-supervised with Radoslaw Cichy at Freie Universität Berlin. Did his Master's project in the lab on the representation of abstract object depictions (e.g. drawings) in the human brain and deep neural networks. Interested in multivariate analyses of electrophysiological data and the temporal dynamics of visual processing. Loves to make and get lost in music.
Administrative assistant.
Master student, studied Social, Cognitive, and Affective Neuroscience (M.Sc.) at Freie Universität Berlin. Interested in human visual perception and cross modal interaction. Was a latin dancer before corona :')
Master student, studied Neuroscience and Neuropsychology at University of Trento. Interested in sensory neuroscience and fascinated by popular science and science communication. Relocates to a different city every other year and then spends the next five years talking about it.
Research assistant, Armina studies medicine at JLU and was interning at a lab to gain experience in scientific research and coding. She enjoys reading about spaceflight, watching movies, and eating pasta.
