My name is Peer and I’m a Research Assistant Professor at Northwestern University and a research affiliate in cognitive and computational (auditory) neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analyses, partly affiliated with the with the Montréal Neurological Institute & Hospital (MNI) located at McGill University & with the International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS) which is jointly run by the Université de Montréal & McGill University. Additionally, I’m part of the BIDS, Neuromod, ReproNim, OHBM SEA-SIG teams and the European AI Alliance initiative.
In terms of research, I’m interested in generalization in biological and artificial agents and the potentially underlying transformations as a basis for intelligent adaptive behavior. I tackle these questions using MRI, EEG, behavior and artificial neural networks, with a special emphasis on data analysis approaches (e.g., pattern analyses, multimodal data integration, naturalistic paradigms, alignment methods & statistical learning) as open, transparent and reproducible as possible. Furthermore, I’m highly invested in education & outreach, fair access & utilization of knowledge, as well as responsible & sustainable science.
