Stefan Ehrlich

Stefan Ehrlich is a Researcher at the Institute for Cognitive Systems (ICS) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His work focuses on neuroengineering, particularly non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for human-robot interaction (HRI), neuroadaptive systems, and EEG-based neurotechnology. He collaborates closely with Prof. Gordon Cheng and contributes to projects involving error-related potentials (ErrPs), affective neurofeedback, and neuroprosthetics. His research integrates cognitive neuroscience principles with robotics to enhance human-machine collaboration and adaptive systems.

Key research areas include:

• Development of passive BCI systems for real-time robotic adaptation
• Design of co-adaptive human-agent interfaces using neural signals
• EEG-based assessment of exoskeleton and humanoid robot performance
• Neuroimaging techniques for music-brain interactions

His publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, combining neuromorphic engineering, machine learning, and social robotics. Ongoing work explores low-power neuromorphic hardware for EEG decoding and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying human-robot trust dynamics. Collaborations involve institutions like the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience and industry partners in wearable robotics.

Labs/Teams: Active contributor to the EEG Laboratory and projects like the Soft Wearable Robotics initiative. Engages in international conferences (IROS, IEEE EMBC) and co-organizes workshops on HRI and neurotechnology.
