My research at ION demonstrated the critical contribution of sensory feedback for accurate decoding of movement intentions from human electroencephalography (EEG), and showed that the spinal regulation of feedback reflex gains via presynaptic inhibition occurs on relatively crude temporal timescales.

My research at the Bernstein Center Freiburg identified stable and unstable cortical correlates of human wrist movements, and demonstrated the feasibility of using stable correlates for reliable magnetoencephalography (MEG)-based close-loop decoding of wrist radial/ulnar deviations. Responsibilities: teaching assistant at Albert-Ludwigs University Freiburg in Neurotechnology. Course 2009.
