Markus Junghöfer

Prof. Markus Junghöfer serves as faculty at the Institute of Biomagnetism and Biosignal Analysis within the Faculty of Medicine, University of Münster. He leads the "Neural Mechanisms of Emotion and Attention" working group, conducting research on emotional perception, learning, and attention control in clinical and healthy populations.

His research program investigates affective neuroscience through studies of emotion recognition, awareness in emotional processing, and mechanisms underlying fear, anxiety, depression, and tinnitus. The lab employs non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to modulate neural activity and develop therapeutic interventions for neurological and psychiatric conditions.

The lab maintains active research projects including the Tinnitus Project, KIKAN Project, and participation in a multi-center SFB/TRR collaborative initiative. Students seeking research internships or thesis opportunities are directed to contact Prof. Junghöfer via email for consideration.
