About me

I am an Austrian neuroscientist and tinnitus researcher and the Scientific Head of the Center for Neuromodulation at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, at the Regensburg District Hospital (medbo), Germany.
My main research interests are different non-invasive brain stimulation techniques especially the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in fundamental research e.g., on brain activity (Electroencephalography) as well as in the treatment of neuro-psychiatric conditions. Especially, I am interested in understanding Tinnitus and conducting research on treatment approaches for this auditory phantom sound perception. Further I am the Team Leader of the Human Neuroscience Research Group as part of the MEXT-Project.
