Overview

Christoph Klein is affiliated with the University of Freiburg in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in neuroscience and medicine, with a focus on cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry. Their work encompasses experimental and cognitive psychology, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, as well as clinical psychology.

Their research primarily addresses topics related to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with significant exploration into neural and behavioral psychology studies. Other notable topics in their work include EEG and brain-computer interfaces, functional brain connectivity studies, obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, and behavioral and psychological studies.

Christoph Klein's publication record includes a number of recent papers covering neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders, often investigating mechanisms of attention and arousal regulation. Representative publications include:

  • Visual search in ADHD, ASD and ASD + ADHD: overlapping or dissociating disorders?, 2020, European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Atypical Arousal Regulation in Children With Autism but Not With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder as Indicated by Pupillometric Measures of Locus Coeruleus Activity, 2021, Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging
  • P300 response modulation reflects breaches of non-probabilistic expectations, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Late attentional processes potentially compensate for early perceptual multisensory integration deficits in children with autism: evidence from evoked potentials, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Comorbidity Matters: Social Visual Attention in a Comparative Study of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Their Comorbidity, 2020, Frontiers in Psychiatry

The scholar has frequently published in journals such as Frontiers in Psychiatry, Schizophrenia Bulletin, Scientific Reports, European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, and Frontiers in Neuroscience.

Collaborations feature prominently in their work, with frequent coauthors including Nikolaos Smyrnis, Monica Biscaldi, Chara Ioannou, Christian Fleischhaker, and Stephan Bender.
