Tobias Teichert

Dr. Tobias Teichert is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh, affiliated with the Neuroscience Institute. His research focuses on auditory function in non-human primates, particularly investigating auditory deficits in schizophrenia, such as pitch encoding abnormalities. He explores how short-term memory mechanisms contribute to sensory processing and their pathological underpinnings. His work integrates electrophysiological recordings and pharmacological interventions to study neural networks involved in auditory processing. Key funding includes NIH grants R01 MH120117 and RF1 MH114223. He oversees a lab offering postdoctoral and student opportunities in auditory neuroscience and EEG methodology.

Research areas emphasize the neural basis of echoic memory and its decay dynamics, leveraging advanced EEG systems for cross-species comparisons. Collaborations with Pitt and CMU researchers enhance interdisciplinary approaches to understanding auditory cognition.
