Philipp Kuhnke

Dr. Philipp Kuhnke is a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the Lise Meitner Research Group 'Cognition and Plasticity' in cooperation with Leipzig University, Germany. His work bridges cognitive neuroscience, linguistics, and neuroimaging methodologies.

• Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences (2021), University of Potsdam / Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences
• M.Sc. in Cognitive Science (2016), University of Osnabrück
• B.Sc. in Cognitive Science (2014), University of Osnabrück

Dr. Kuhnke's research focuses on semantics and conceptual processing, grounded cognition, and neuroimaging techniques like fMRI and TMS. His studies explore how the brain retrieves semantic knowledge, adapts to language tasks, and recovers from neurological impairments.

His recent publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining neurostimulation and neuroimaging to understand reading networks, semantic cognition, and post-stroke recovery. He investigates neural plasticity mechanisms in dyslexia and aphasia, analyzing effective connectivity patterns in language networks.
