  • 2007 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

David Poeppel is affiliated with the Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience in Germany. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a significant focus on cognitive neuroscience.

Their scholarly work covers various subfields including cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, developmental and educational psychology, artificial intelligence, and signal processing. Main research topics addressed include neuroscience and music perception, neural dynamics and brain function, neurobiology of language and bilingualism, multisensory perception and integration, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, reading and literacy development, as well as music and audio processing.

Among their recent publications are:

  • Speech rhythms and their neural foundations, 2020, Nature Reviews. Neuroscience
  • Crowdsourcing neuroscience: Inter-brain coupling during face-to-face interactions outside the laboratory, 2020, NeuroImage
  • Neural dynamics of phoneme sequences reveal position-invariant code for content and order, 2022, Nature Communications
  • Asymmetric sampling in human auditory cortex reveals spectral processing hierarchy, 2020, PLoS Biology
  • Categorical Rhythms Are Shared between Songbirds and Humans, 2020, Current Biology

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), arXiv (Cornell University), PLoS Biology, Scientific Reports, and Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research).

Collaborations are a significant part of their work, with regular coauthors including M. Florencia Assaneo, Pauline Larrouy-Maestri, Laura Gwilliams, Johanna M. Rimmele, and Joan Orpella.

David Poeppel was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2007.
