Research focus
In his research, Thomas Reber investigates the neural correlates of perception, memory, attention and consciousness. He develops cognitive experiments for use with healthy subjects, amnesics and epilepsy patients. Brain activity is measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), intracranial electroencephalography (EEG), and extracellular single-cell recordings in humans. At UniDistance Suisse, Thomas Reber incorporates findings from basic research into applied research on the use of information and communication technology to support learning processes.
