Catharina Zich
Postdoctoral Scientist
Catharina's research aims to further the understanding of the neural signatures of movement execution and movement imagination to facilitate human motor plasticity.
Catharina's key research method is mobile and high-density electroencephalography (EEG), but she also uses magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (f/MRI, fNIRS), and simultaneous EEG-fMRI and EEG-fNIRS recordings. Moreover, she has applied EEG-based neurofeedback, fMRI-based neurofeedback, and non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) to modulate neural activity.
Catharina leads the MEG work within the Stagg Group.
