Overview

Benjamin Straube is affiliated with Philipp University of Marburg in Germany and has an extensive research portfolio primarily in neuroscience and psychology. Their work encompasses 175 publications in neuroscience and 137 in psychology, with a focus on subfields such as cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry and mental health, and social psychology.

Their recent publications illustrate a diverse research interest. These include studies such as "A Systematic Evaluation of Machine Learning-Based Biomarkers for Major Depressive Disorder" published in 2024 in JAMA Psychiatry; "The treasure inside barley seeds: microbial diversity and plant beneficial bacteria" in Environmental Microbiome in 2021; and "Change of Threat Expectancy as Mechanism of Exposure-Based Psychotherapy for Anxiety Disorders: Evidence From 8,484 Exposure Exercises of 605 Patients" from 2022 in Clinical Psychological Science.

Additional papers include "Learning dynamics of electrophysiological brain signals during human fear conditioning" (2020, NeuroImage) and "Efficacy of temporally intensified exposure for anxiety disorders: A multicenter randomized clinical trial" (2021, Depression and Anxiety).

Straube collaborates regularly with several co-authors, including Tilo Kircher (116 joint publications), Frederike Stein (55), Igor Nenadić (53), Udo Dannlowski (50), and Susanne Meinert (48).

The frequent publication venues reflect a varied dissemination of work, with the highest number of publications in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) totaling 25, followed by Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) with 23. Other venues include Molecular Psychiatry (12 publications), Human Brain Mapping (7), and NeuroImage (6).

The main topics of Straube's research focus on several interconnected areas such as:

  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Mental Health Research Topics
  • Action Observation and Synchronization
  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Anxiety, Depression, Psychometrics, Treatment, Cognitive Processes
  • Psychosomatic Disorders and Their Treatments
