Principal Investigator
Stefan Schweinberger is interested in cognition as well as cognitive and social neuroscience. Areas of his research include person perception and human interaction, with a particular focus on communication via the face and the voice. He received his PhD from the University of Konstanz in 1991, and worked as a professor at the Universities of Glasgow (2000-2005) and Jena (2005-present). He and his team use research methods linking brain and cognition/emotion, such as event-related brain potentials (ERP), eyetracking, or investigations of patients with focal brain lesions. His research also covers individual differences and constraints to person perception or communication, whether of sensory (e.g., hearing loss) or central origin (e.g., autism, prosopagnosia).
