I am a Neurosciencist and Cognitive Scientist running an auditory neuroscience laboratory at NIFE and the Institut of Audioneurotechnology at Hannover Medical School, Germany.
I study hearing and how the brain adapts to hearing loss in young and aging brains. Brain adaptations after hearing loss affect the ability to integrate restored sensory input from cochlear implants. Understanding these mechanisms can guide the optimization of auditory rehabilitation strategies.
To investigate this, I use multichannel microelectrode arrays, cortical surface arrays, and EEG recordings, employing different types of brain signals and advanced signal processing techniques.
