Dr. Carina Oehrn, MD, PhD
The Cognitive Neurophysiology Lab
As a physician and cognitive neuroscientist, I am involved in basic science projects, as well as their clinical application. My research focuses on understanding the role of cortical and subcortical neural oscillations for physiological and pathological information processing. During my PhD, I studied oscillatory prefrontal-hippocampal interactions during cognitive control in epilepsy patients. Thereafter I shifted my focus on characterizing the neural signature of cognitive and emotional processing in Parkinson’s disease. My aim is to use our insights into the neural bases of non-motor symptoms to develop patient-tailored therapeutic interventions, such as adaptive deep brain stimulation. After working with Lars Timmermann in Marburg, Germany, I moved on to work with Philip Starr at UCSF, USA, and manage my lab remotely.

Dr. Immo Weber, Dipl.-Biol., PhD
The Dynamical Neuroscience Lab
I studied biology in Rostock with a main focus on neurophysiology. During work on my diploma thesis I specialized on pathophysiology and treatment of movement disorders, especially Parkinson’s disease. For my PhD in Prof. Timmermann's lab in Cologne, I switched from animal studies to clinical studies. During this time, I acquired a wide array of different recording and analysis techniques, including high resolution EEG measurement, deep brain recordings, time-frequency and source analysis. One of my main research aims was to analyze the information flow between deep brain structures and peripheral muscle activity in Parkinson's disease Patients. I am especially interested in nonlinear analysis tools, as I believe that many common linear techniques do not fully capture the brains complexity. For this purpose I developed NoLiTiA, a free open-source Matlab toolbox readily available at www.nolitia.com.
