Abstract

Christopher Gundlach is a research associate at the Wilhelm Wundt Institute for Psychology in the Department of Experimental Psychology and Methods. He did his Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences and Leipzig University on the modulation of oscillatory neural activity and somatosensory perception by transcranial alternating current stimulation. His current research focuses on visual cognitive and perceptual processes and their modulation by attention, with a strong emphasis on the neural implementation of these processes.
