General research profile
The
major research area is the study of basic central auditory brain functions with special
respect to the often devastating symptom tinnitus. Different
neurofunctional imaging methods (PET, fMRI) are used to unveil the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of auditory
perception and the sensation of tinnitus. Special research areas |

Experimental neuroimaging studies on the
neurophysiological mechanisms of tinnitus. The research includes both
experimental modulations of tinnitus in patients, as well as experimental induction of
tinnitus-like sensations in healthy volunteers. Experimental neuroimaging studies on the neurophysiological mechanisms of auditory temporal perception and discrimination. Experimental neuroimaging studies on the neurophysiological mechanisms of auditory perception and discrimination in cochlear implant patients. Clinical studies on the treatment of tinnitus: - Low-power laser - Tinnitus-Retraining-Therapy Epidemiological and follow-up growth studies on Acoustic Neuroma/Vestibular Schwannoma
