Bernhard Gaese

PD Dr. Bernhard Gaese is a researcher at the Institut für Zellbiologie und Neurowissenschaft (Institute of Cell Biology and Neuroscience) at Goethe University Frankfurt. His work focuses on auditory perception, integrating cognitive neuroscience and behavioral research to understand how bottom-up sensory processing interacts with top-down influences like experience and decision-making.

• Key Research Areas:
  • Attentional modulation of hearing
  • Context-dependent auditory processing
  • Neural adaptation mechanisms
  • Neuronal basis of tinnitus
• Methods:
  • Animal training
  • In-vivo electrophysiology (awake rodents)
  • Human psychoacoustics
  • Magnetoencephalography (MEG) via collaborations

Collaborations with the IMP and Brain Imaging Center enhance his studies. His publications span 2011–2016, emphasizing auditory cortex dynamics and tinnitus mechanisms.
