Daniel Senkowski

Professor Daniel Senkowski serves as Head of the research division Computational Neuroimaging and leads the Multisensory Integration Research Group at the Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. His work bridges clinical neuropsychology with advanced neuroimaging techniques to investigate fundamental neural mechanisms underlying human cognition and perception.

Dr. Senkowski's primary research focus centers on multisensory integration processes, particularly examining how neural oscillations across multiple time scales contribute to information processing in both healthy individuals and clinical populations, especially those with schizophrenia and ADHD. His laboratory employs sophisticated methodologies including transcranial alternating current stimulation, eye tracking, computational modeling, and electroencephalography to unravel the complex dynamics of sensory integration.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on neural oscillatory mechanisms, particularly gamma and beta band activity, in mediating multisensory processing. His 2024 Nature Reviews Neuroscience article on multi-timescale neural dynamics represents a significant theoretical contribution to understanding how the brain integrates information across different sensory modalities through oscillatory synchronization.

His research group actively investigates cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, with particular attention to attention deficits, working memory impairments, and multisensory processing abnormalities. The team has produced numerous high-impact studies examining how oscillatory brain activity relates to perceptual and cognitive functions in both healthy and clinical populations.
