Prof. Dr. sc. nat. Thomas Koenig

About me

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.
