Julian Kosciessa

Hi, I am Julian, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab. My research aims to clarify the brain mechanisms that enable us to flexibly adapt perception, cognition, and action to changing goals and demands. To this end, my research draws on perspectives from cognitive, computational, and systems neuroscience. I am fascinated by the question how we can adequately capture intrinsic brain dynamics in humans, and tune them using targeted interventions. In the Verhagen lab I pursue these interests by combining ultrasound stimulation with multimodal neuroimaging to study the relevance of deep brain regions for complex brain dynamics and cognitive flexibility.
