Benedikt Ehinger

Benedikt Ehinger is a computational neuroscientist at the University of Stuttgart, leading an Emmy Noether research group on "EEG in motion" funded by DFG. He specializes in integrating EEG with eye-tracking, developing statistical methods for neuroimaging and creating open-source tools.

• DDFG Emmy Noether grant recipient (2019)
• Director of Computational Cognitive Science lab
• Co-developer of open-source tools: Unfold toolbox, ClusterDepth algorithm

His research focuses on three main areas: 1. Methodological foundations of EEG/MEG analysis, particularly cluster-based statistics and deconvolution methods; 2. Eye-tracking methodology and visualization techniques; 3. Statistical modeling of human perception using linear mixed models and Bayesian approaches.

Key trends in his recent publications include:

• Advancing EEG methodology with linear deconvolution and cluster permutation tests
• Developing open-source neuroscience tools in Julia/MATLAB
• Investigating perceptual inference and reliability estimation
• Creating art-science interfaces through "thesis art" projects

Scientific contributions:

• Emmy Noether research group leadership
• Over 10 thesis supervisions (Master's/Bachelor's)
• Co-development of multiple open-source toolboxes
• Methodological innovations in ERP analysis and statistical testing

As an educator, he creates interactive tutorials on statistical concepts and provides thesis art for each supervised student. His lab maintains strong software engineering practices with GitHub-hosted code repositories.
