Peer Herholz

After obtaining degrees in Neuropsychology and Cognitive and Integrative Systems Neuroscience, Peer completed his PhD in Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience and went on to work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Montréal Neurological Institute and the Max-Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. During this time and a research affiliate position at MIT and a research assistant professor position at Northwestern, his work was centered around the intersection of neuroscience and AI, neuroinformatics, auditory neuroscience and open and reproducible science. His research is focused on generalization and abstract representation in biological and artificial systems as the potential underlying mechanism for adaptive behavior, using multimodal neuroimaging, ANNs and naturalistic paradigms.

Outside of work, Peer enjoys the great outdoors, arts & music and everything with one board under his feet.
