Thomas Koenig

Thomas Koenig is a Group Leader at the University of Bern's Translational Research Center and a Visiting Professor at the University of Geneva's Campus Biotech. His primary affiliation is the University of Bern, where he contributes to the Medical Faculty's Department of Psychiatry. Koenig's research focuses on EEG microstate analysis, particularly in understanding brain dynamics during health and psychiatric disorders. His work integrates neurophysiology with philosophical inquiries into the mind-brain relationship, including a Master's in Philosophy of Mind. Key contributions include developing the MICROSTATELAB toolbox and advancing microstate methodology. His research spans schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, sleep neurophysiology, and the neural correlates of self-experience.

Education: Holds a Master in Philosophy (emphasis on Philosophy of Mind) alongside his natural sciences background. His academic background bridges neuroscience and philosophy, enhancing interdisciplinary research.

Research interests include EEG/ERP microstates, resting-state networks, neuroimaging biomarkers, and translational applications in psychiatry. His articles emphasize EEG methodology, clinical applications, and cognitive neuroscience. Collaborations span institutions globally, addressing topics like psychosis biomarkers, sleep modulation, and neurodegenerative markers.

Notable contributions include identifying EEG microstate D as a psychosis correlate and investigating sleep's functional networks. His work on closed-loop sleep stimulation highlights translational potential for memory and neurodegenerative interventions.
