Tristan Baumann

Dr. Tristan Baumann is a Researcher in the Department of Computational Neuroscience at the Max Planck Society in Tübingen, Germany, focusing on neural mechanisms of spatial representation and navigation.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Cognitive Science, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (2019-2023)
• MSc in Cognitive Science, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (2016-2019)
• BSc in Cognitive Science, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (2013-2016)
• Communication Design, IN.D Institute of Design, Berlin (2012-2013)

Dr. Baumann's research centers on spatial cognition, investigating how physical space is represented in the brain through theoretical models of animal and human navigation. His current electrophysiology project analyzes rat neural data during complex route navigation experiments to decode spatial memory mechanisms. His work bridges computational modeling, behavioral neuroscience, and neural data analysis to understand hippocampal and entorhinal cortex functions in spatial processing.

Based at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics (Max-Planck-Ring 8, Tübingen), he contributes to the Department of Computational Neuroscience's mission of integrating theoretical and experimental approaches to brain function. His research has generated 213 publication references, reflecting sustained contributions to spatial cognition literature.
