Eleni Panagoulas

Eleni Panagoulas is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, affiliated with the Department of Neurology. She is part of the Heart-Brain Interactions research group and focuses on neuroimaging techniques, particularly functional MRI (fMRI), and their applications in studying spinal cord and neurophysiological processes. Her work intersects neurology, neuroscience, and interventional imaging.

Her research interests include exploring heart-brain interactions, spinal cord imaging methodologies, and advancing task-based fMRI analyses. A recent contribution involves investigating the reliability of task-based fMRI in the human spinal cord's dorsal horn, a critical area for sensory processing.
