My core interest is the relation between our outer world experience and our self and brain functions during health and disease. My "workhorses" for these and many other collaborative empirical studies I am involved in are EEG and event-related potentials. I am also deeply involved in methodological development in this field and have made a series of frequently used methodological contributions and open source analysis tools. Namely, I am one of the early pioneers and current influencers in the so-called microstate analysis, a framework of conceptual and methodological reasonings that is now rapidly gaining acceptance in the domain of system-level neuroscience.
Apart from this hands-on aspect of my activity, I have recently completed a Master in Philosophy with an emphasis on Philosophy of Mind, which helps me frame my research into the broader Brain-Mind debate that the entire project of understanding psychiatric illnesses through neuroscience hinges upon.
Currently I am also a visiting Professor at the Campus Biotech of the University of Geneva.
