About
Overview
Dr Allefeld is a cognitive neuroscientist with a background in physics and philosophy.
His research is about developing and improving statistical models and data analysis methods for neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI) and behavioural data. His work tries to make concepts of physics, nonlinear dynamics, systems theory, and information theory fruitful for cognitive neuroscience and psychology. He is particularly interested in the relation between neural and mental states.
