Associate investigator, Collaborator

Radboud University medical center

I am a teaching fellow and researcher at the Donders Institute and Radboud university medical center. My current research focuses mainly on the intersection of language and memory. Since my background is in visual neuroscience, I am naturally also interested in the intersection of language and vision. I work with electrophysiological data and have a focus on data analysis methods such as source reconstruction or MEG decoding. Furthermore, I am enthusiastic about open source and am part of the core developer team of MNE-Python since 2019. Find out more about my research at https://britta-wstnr.github.io/
