معرفی
Prof. Simon Musall is an Assistant Professor of Neuromodulation at RWTH Aachen University and Head of the in-vivo Neurophysiology Lab at Forschungszentrum Jülich. His research focuses on understanding how multisensory information is integrated in neural networks to guide behavior, particularly in mice performing cognitive tasks. He employs advanced techniques like high-density electrophysiology and functional imaging to study cortical networks, pathway-specific information transfer, and neuromodulation effects.
Key research interests include neural network function, decision-making mechanisms, and neuromodulation's role in information processing. His lab develops cutting-edge neurotechnology, such as flexible neural probes and organic neurohybrid systems, to advance in vivo recordings and closed-loop control. Collaborative projects integrate computational neuroscience with experimental approaches to dissect cortical circuit dynamics and their behavioral correlates.
Recent work highlights contributions to spike sorting algorithms (UnitRefine), network dynamics modeling (Riemannian multi-scale decomposition), and enzyme-mediated neurohybrid interfaces. His interdisciplinary approach bridges basic neuroscience with translational tools for studying neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions.
