Nathan Weisz is a Professor of Physiological Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of Salzburg , where he leads the Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab and the MEG Laboratory at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience Salzburg (CCNS). He has previously served as Associate Professor at the University of Trento’s CIMeC and as an Emmy Noether Group Leader at the University of Konstanz. . Doctorate: Department of Psychology, University of Konstanz (2001–2004) Diploma in Psychology: Catholic University of Eichstätt (1996–2001) His research focuses on understanding how the brain processes acoustic stimuli, particularly speech, using electrophysiological methods such as MEG and EEG. He investigates neural mechanisms in challenging listening environments (e.g., the 'cocktail party' problem), the role of neural oscillations in perception and memory, multisensory integration (e.g., audio-visual speech), and the development of tinnitus following hearing loss. His work has direct implications for hearing rehabilitation and cochlear implantation. The recent publications highlight advanced applications of M/EEG in decoding conscious perception across modalities, the role of alpha desynchronization in auditory working memory, and predictive neural activity in the auditory system. These reflect a strong trend in cognitive electrophysiology , predictive coding , and neural dynamics of perception . Nathan Weisz has not been mentioned as receiving specific scientific awards in the provided text. He advises graduate students in psychology and neuroscience, though specific names are not listed. His research is supported by institutional and likely external funding given his leadership roles and publication record. He leads a prominent research group focused on non-invasive brain imaging and cognitive dynamics. He leads the Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab , which operates within the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience Salzburg (CCNS), utilizing MEG and EEG to study brain dynamics in perception and cognition.

Dr. Thomas Hartmann is a Senior Scientist at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCNS), Department of Psychology, Faculty of Natural and Life Sciences, University of Salzburg. His research focuses on cognitive neuroscience, auditory perception, and electrophysiological methods (M/EEG), particularly in the context of tinnitus and cochlear implants. He leads the Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab and is a key contributor to open-source neuroscience software development. PhD in Psychology, University of Konstanz (2006–2012) Diploma in Psychology, University of Konstanz (2001–2006) His primary research interests include auditory perception, neural oscillations, neurofeedback, cognitive neuroscience, and psychophysics . He investigates how the brain processes sound, especially under conditions of hearing impairment, and develops computational tools to improve experimental rigor and reproducibility. Dr. Hartmann’s recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in multisensory integration, neural speech tracking, attention modulation, and open-source methodological development . His work often combines EEG/MEG with behavioral paradigms to uncover the neural mechanisms of perception and attention. A major contribution is the Objective Psychophysics Toolbox (o_ptb), which enhances experimental design in MATLAB by abstracting hardware complexity. Active contributor to open-source neuroscience tools Focus on reproducible and robust experimental paradigms Collaborative research with leading institutions in Europe He has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed studies in journals such as Frontiers in Psychology , NeuroImage , and Cortex , and has been involved in research on tinnitus, cochlear implants, and neural correlates of attention. Although no direct students are listed, his role as a senior scientist and publication mentor suggests advisory responsibilities. He is affiliated with the Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab, where his team conducts cutting-edge research on brain dynamics using advanced electrophysiological techniques and computational modeling.

Sibylle Moser is a Professor at the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten, where she serves as Head of the Center for Cultural and Creative Industries and Senior Researcher in the Media Creation Research Group at the Institute of Creative\Media/Technologies. Her academic trajectory includes prior positions as Professor of Media Studies & Cultural Management at UAS Kufstein (2017-2023), CEO of Community Radio Orange 94.0 (2011-2017), and visiting professorships at the University of Vienna. Her research employs systemic models and embodied cognition frameworks to investigate: User/visitor experience in museums and gardens Mixed-method designs for empirical art/culture studies Cognitive semiotics of intermodal analogy in multimedia Cross-disciplinary connections between media theory and practice Her publications exhibit strong thematic continuity in analyzing how embodied cognition shapes meaning-making across artistic media, with recent focus on sensory dimensions of cultural experiences. She leads the Center for Cultural and Creative Industries and collaborates within the Media Creation Research Group, developing transdisciplinary approaches to digital culture and creative technologies.
