Prof. Dr. Nicole Wenderoth
Area of Interest
Neural Control of Movement
Prerequisites a student should comply with
Interest in the neurophysiology of the motor system, brain connectivity and translation from fundamental neuroscience to clinical devices, e.g. brain machine interfaces. Students will learn to apply brain stimulation techniques, EEG or magnetic resonance imaging for investigating brain functions in healthy humans or patients. The same methods are used to decode brain signals for controlling devices or for providing neurofeedback. Interest in programming and basic knowledge of signal processing is advantageous but not required.
