Paul C.J. Taylor

Paul C.J. Taylor is a Research group leader and Associate Senior Researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and the Study of Religion. His work is centered on cognitive neuroscience, particularly using combined brain stimulation and recording techniques such as TMS-EEG and tACS-EEG. He is also a regular member of the Munich Center for Neurosciences (MCN) and a former member of the Graduate School of Neuroscience (GSN).

Research Interests: His research investigates the neural mechanisms underlying perception, action, attention, and conscious awareness. He employs advanced neuroimaging and neuromodulation tools in both lab and mobile settings, with a growing interest in real-world cognitive neuroscience. Key areas include spatial orientation, self-motion, working memory, and individual differences in cognitive processing.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in using non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS, tACS, rTMS) combined with EEG to explore cortical dynamics during perceptual and cognitive tasks. The work spans clinical and basic neuroscience, often involving patient populations with vestibular or spatial deficits. Topics include lateralization of brain activity, oculomotor control, and neural dissociations during navigation.
