Notable papers include "Satisfaction with and reliability of in-hospital video-EEG monitoring systems in epilepsy diagnosis - A German multicenter experience" published in 2021 and "P 67 Satisfaction with and reliability of in-hospital video-electroencephalography monitoring systems in epilepsy diagnosis among German epilepsy centers" published in 2022.

Tergau's research frequently explores the following scientific topics:

  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces
  • Epilepsy research and treatment
  • Atomic and Subatomic Physics Research

Their work intersects several subfields of study, including:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry and Mental Health
  • Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics

Throughout their career, Tergau has collaborated with several frequent co-authors. These include:

  • Laurent M. Willems
  • Christian G. Bien
