معرفی
Nikolai Axmacher is a Professor at the Department of Neuropsychology, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, within the Faculty of Psychology at Ruhr University Bochum. His research focuses on understanding how experiences are transformed into memory traces, how memory is impaired by trauma and Alzheimer's disease, and the neural mechanisms underlying spatial navigation and learning.
- Combines cognitive neuroscience methods (EEG, fMRI, intracranial recordings)
- Investigates memory consolidation during rest and sleep
- Develops AI-based algorithms for decoding neural representations
- Studies autobiographical and social memory systems
His recent work explores the interplay between memory and spatial navigation, particularly in populations at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Using high-resolution neuroimaging (3T/7T fMRI) and electrophysiological recordings, he examines distributed BOLD activity patterns and oscillations in memory networks. Though no formal scientific awards are listed in the provided texts, his publications in Nature Communications, Science Advances, and Current Biology demonstrate significant impact.
