We welcome Annika Lüttjohann from the Institute of Physiology as a new member of the Otto Creutzfeldt Center in 2025.
Annikas research interests are:
Cellular and network mechanisms of absence epilepsy, Electrophysiology: LFP-, multi- and single
neuron recordings in freely behaving or anaesthetized rodents, statistical analyses, brain-computer
interfaces, deep brain stimulation.
In our OCC PhD Program we welcome Theresa Rieger. Her PhD project, entitled “Neural Correlates of Consciousness in the context of illusory perception”, therefore focuses on illusion-based paradigms. The project is supervised by OCC members Prof. Dr. Thomas Straube, apl. Prof. Dr. Jens Bölter and Dr. phil. Maximilian Bruchmann.
Two OCC Members Granted University of Münster Research Awards
We are delighted to announce that two members of the OCC have been recognized with this year’s prestigious Research Awards from the Universitätsgesellschaft Münster, each endowed with a prize of €5,000:
Dr. Susanne Meinert conducts research at the intersection of neuroscience and psychotherapy, seeking to uncover how mental illnesses—such as depression—develop and cause changes in the brain.
Dr. Daniel Kluger’s research focuses on brain-respiratory coupling, illustrating how the interplay between breathing and brain activity plays a key role in conditions such as anxiety disorders and epilepsy.
