Bio:

I received my MSc at the Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) in Klaus-Peter Hoffmann's Lab where I recorded from the extra striate visual cortex from anaesthetised pigmented and albino ferrets (Mustela putorius furo). I localised a circumscribed cortical area (PSS) which contains direction selective neurons and shares specific characteristics with the primate medial superior temporal area (MST) (Philipp et al., 2006).
I receive my PhD in the same lab investigating if and how the Superior Colliculus (SC) is involved in the control of visually guided arm movements. Using three different approaches I demonstrated that a) electrical microstimulation elicits arm movements in a naïve monkey (Macaca mulatta) (Philipp and Hoffmann, 2014), b) influences an ongoing movement plan, and c) that sudden target perturbations are reflected in the discharge of collicular reach neurons.
