Marcel Bausch

Dr. Marcel Bausch is a researcher affiliated with the Clinic and Polyclinic for Epileptology at the University of Bonn's Faculty of Medicine. He is a member of the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) - Life and Health, where he leads innovative research at the intersection of neuroscience, medicine, and technology.

His research focuses on cognition, epilepsy, and wearable sensors, with particular emphasis on understanding brain functions through cutting-edge neurotechnologies. His lab combines neuroscience and medicine with advanced technology to study epilepsy and cognitive functions such as memory. Using custom neurotechnologies including mobile ear-EEG systems, they investigate how the brain is shaped by internal and external landscapes, aiming to transform these discoveries into real-world applications. Their research integrates intracranial recordings, EEGs, and tailored wearables to discover new neuroscience insights and develop practical clinical solutions.

Dr. Bausch's work demonstrates significant contributions to understanding neural mechanisms in the temporal lobe and medial temporal lobe, with publications in high-impact journals like Nature Communications. His research on seizure-related effects on heart activity shows his interdisciplinary approach connecting neurology with cardiology. The lab devises innovative solutions from bare electronic components to advanced sensor systems, enabling comprehensive views of brain activity from individual neurons to complex behaviors.

He maintains active collaborations with researchers across disciplines, as evidenced by his co-authorships with prominent scientists in the field. His work contributes to the University of Bonn's strong research profile in life sciences and health, particularly within the context of the university's six Transdisciplinary Research Areas.
