Main research areas
The focus of my research is on analysing lesions and their effects on neuropsychological functions, including insight into illness, the execution of goal-directed movements and tool use as well as visual-spatial construction skills.
Another focus is on analysing individual cases from the chair's outpatient clinic. These provide insights into the functioning of neuropsychological processes and contribute to the improvement of therapeutic approaches.
