Joseph Claßen

Prof. Joseph Claßen serves as a Professor at Leipzig University, specializing in neural mechanisms of movement, brain adaptation processes, and bodily perception. His work bridges fundamental neuroscience with clinical applications for neurological rehabilitation.

Research centers on three interconnected domains: elucidating principles of motor control and learning through neuronal plasticity; developing targeted brain stimulation protocols to alleviate neurological symptoms; and investigating cognitive aspects of bodily representation. These areas drive therapeutic innovation for movement disorders and sensorimotor deficits.

PhD projects are actively offered in all three research streams, designed for collaborative execution with other university faculty members to foster interdisciplinary approaches in neuroscience and rehabilitation medicine.
