Kathrin Bothe

Kathrin Bothe is a Researcher at the Paris-Lodron-University of Salzburg, affiliated with the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCNS) and the Laboratory for Sleep and Consciousness Research.

• Education: PhD student since 2015; Master’s in Psychology (summa cum laude, 2013); Bachelor’s in Psychology (2011), all from the Paris-Lodron-University of Salzburg.
• Professional Experience: Research assistant (2013-2015) for FWF-Projects on sleep-associated memory consolidation, motor skill acquisition, and disorders of consciousness; teaching assistant for seminars on sleep and psychology (2012-2013).

Research Interests focus on sleep-dependent memory consolidation across the lifespan, particularly neurophysiological mechanisms like sleep spindles, slow oscillations, and EEG correlates in disorders of consciousness. Her work bridges cognitive neuroscience and motor learning.

Publications and Presentations emphasize gross-motor adaptation in adolescents, NREM sleep stages, and EEG spectral analysis in neurological assessments. Trends show interdisciplinary application of electrophysiological methods to study sleep’s role in memory and motor skills.

Technical Skills include advanced SPSS and EEG acquisition (Brainvision Recorder, Alphatrace), intermediate EEG processing (Brainvision Analyzer), and basic MATLAB proficiency.
