Dr. C. Herff

Dr. Christian Herff is an assistant professor in the department of
neurosurgery where he leads the invasive BCI research line. His research
interest lays in the application of machine learning technology to
neurophysiological data for Brain-Computer Interfaces and neuroscience
research. With a particular focus on the decoding of speech processes
from intracranial data, he tries to improve the lives of severely paralyzed
patients while simultaneously improving our understanding of complex
higher order cognition. He emphasizes the ability to achieve interpretable
results based on computational models. In particular, visualization of
complex dynamic models, such as deep neural networks, is of interest to
him.
