Stefan Treue is a Professor and Director at the German Primate Center (DPZ) in Göttingen, Germany, where he heads the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory. He is affiliated with the Department of Cognitive Neurosciences and contributes to the Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences (GGNB) in programs including Neurosciences (IMPRS), Sensory and Motor Neuroscience, Systems Neuroscience, and Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience. His research focuses on the neural basis of visual perception, particularly how attention modulates sensory processing in the primate brain. Using electrophysiological recordings in macaque monkeys, human psychophysics, and functional brain imaging, his lab investigates attentional mechanisms in cortical area MT, especially in motion processing and perceptual accuracy. Key themes include attentional gain, receptive field dynamics, saccade-locked attention shifts, and multifocal attention. The recent publications reflect a consistent focus on attentional modulation in visual cortex, with a strong emphasis on neurophysiological and behavioral evidence from non-human primates. His work bridges cognitive theory and neural mechanisms, contributing significantly to systems and computational neuroscience. Scientific Awards: None explicitly mentioned in the text. Advising and Grants: Prof. Treue mentors students through the GGNB and IMPRS programs, indicating active graduate student supervision. While specific grants are not listed, his long-standing research program and high-impact publications suggest sustained funding from major research agencies. Labs and Teams: He leads the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at DPZ, a multidisciplinary team employing electrophysiology, psychophysics, and theoretical modeling to study attention and perception in primates.
