Overview

Jochen Kaiser is affiliated with Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany and works primarily in the field of neuroscience. Their research spans cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, language and linguistics, and artificial intelligence. The focus is on neural and behavioral psychology studies, neural dynamics and brain function, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, neuroscience and music perception, visual perception and processing mechanisms, multisensory perception and integration, and neural networks and applications.

Recent publications include:

  • Context information supports serial dependence of multiple visual objects across memory episodes, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Object-based attention prioritizes working memory contents at a theta rhythm, 2020, Journal of Experimental Psychology General
  • Predictive Coding Over the Lifespan: Increased Reliance on Perceptual Priors in Older Adults-A Magnetoencephalography and Dynamic Causal Modeling Study, 2021, Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
  • The neural computation of human prosocial choices in complex motivational states, 2021, NeuroImage
  • Decoding Concurrent Representations of Pitch and Location in Auditory Working Memory, 2021, Journal of Neuroscience

Kaiser has frequently published in the following venues:

  • Journal of Vision
  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Frontiers in Neuroscience
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • eLife

Major collaborators include Christoph Bledowski, Cora Fischer, Stefan Czoschke, Benjamin Peters, and Maren Schmidt-Kassow.

Their work often centers on understanding complex brain functions related to perception, memory, and cognition, using various neuroimaging and electrophysiological methods. Topics of interest cover both fundamental neural mechanisms and applied aspects involving brain-computer interfaces and multisensory integration.
