Thomas Schenk

Thomas Schenk serves as Professor for Clinical Neuropsychology at the Department of Psychology, LMU Munich, with offices at Leopoldstr. 13, 80802 München. He holds significant roles as a regular member of the Munich Center for Neurosciences (MCN), full member of the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN), and member of the GSN Scientific Board, reflecting his integration into Munich's neuroscience leadership.

His research centers on the cognitive and neural interplay between perception, action, and attention, with explicit focus areas including neuropsychology, visual perception, motor control, attentional processes, and neurological rehabilitation. This work directly targets improving diagnostics and treatments for patients suffering visual, motor, or attentional deficits through mechanistic understanding of sensorimotor integration.

Publication analysis reveals consistent exploration of perception-action relationships across neurological populations, particularly investigating visual memory's role in action execution, rehabilitation efficacy for hemianopia, and dissociations in agnosia cases like patient D.F. His studies frequently bridge fundamental cognitive neuroscience with clinical stroke and TIA outcomes.

Prof. Schenk actively mentors graduate students including Inara Makhkamova and Doris Schmid within the GSN framework, while his MCN and GSN affiliations demonstrate ongoing contributions to systemic neuroscience research governance and doctoral training initiatives in Munich.
