Main Focus
Exploring dynamics of cognitve neural networks in healthy aging and aphasia. Application of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to understand the interplay of domain-specific and domain-general networks. Strong supporter of open and transparent research practices like preregistration and registered reports. Co-organiser of a symposium on Good Scientific Practice: Doing Good – Scientific Practice under Review. Doctoral fellow of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes).
