معرفی
Simone Vossel is a Professor and Head of the Attention & Prediction Working Group at the Research Center Jülich, within the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-3: Cognitive Neuroscience). Her research focuses on cognitive neuroscience, functional neuroimaging, neuropsychology, attention, and predictive processing. She investigates how the brain integrates expectations and sensory input to guide behavior, particularly in contexts involving spatial attention, motor control, and stroke rehabilitation.
Her work combines experimental paradigms with neuroimaging (fMRI, TMS) and computational modeling to study neural mechanisms underlying attentional control and belief updating. Key areas include the role of the temporoparietal junction in probabilistic inference, the effects of stroke on spatial neglect and apraxia, and the transfer of cognitive tasks between physical and virtual reality environments.
Dr. Vossel’s research group explores interdisciplinary questions at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and clinical applications, aiming to improve understanding of neural dysfunction and recovery processes. Her studies often involve collaborations to analyze brain connectivity and behavioral outcomes in healthy and clinical populations.
