Who?
Benedikt Ehinger is a Junior Professor for Computational Cognitive Science at the University of Stuttgart. His work revolves around cognitive neuroscience, with a particular focus on visual perception, brain signals, signal processing and real-world scenarios.
Education and Career
He studied Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück, completing his studies with a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.), delving deep into the intersection of neuroscience and computational modeling.
Before joining the University of Stuttgart as a Junior Professor in August 2020, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Donders Institute in the Netherlands. This period significantly shaped his approach to understanding how humans perceive and process the world.
Research Focus
His research spans various topics, including:
- EEG Analysis: Developing methods to better understand brain activity.
- Eyetracking: Studying how humans process visual information and make sense of our surroundings.
- Statistical and Cognitive Modeling: Building models to predict and explain cognitive processes.
- Visual Perception: Exploring the mechanisms behind how we interpret visual stimuli.
One of his key contributions has been the “Unfold Toolbox“, an integrated software package for EEG data analysis.
Teaching and Publications
At the University of Stuttgart, he teaches courses on statistics, EEG analysis, and machine learning. He also had the opportunity to publish his work in well-regarded scientific journals, and is frequently cited by other researchers.
His passion lies in bridging the gap between neuroscience and computational approaches, pushing the boundaries of what we know about human cognition and perception.
