Overview

Markus Junghöfer is affiliated with the University of Münster in Germany. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a notable focus on cognitive neuroscience and experimental cognitive psychology. Their work also addresses domains such as neurology, clinical psychology, and sensory systems.

The scientist's recent papers cover a range of topics related to brain function, perception, and anxiety disorders. Some examples include:

  • Contextual information resolves uncertainty about ambiguous facial emotions: Behavioral and magnetoencephalographic correlates (2020, NeuroImage)
  • Clinical predictors of treatment response towards exposure therapy in virtuo in spider phobia: A machine learning and external cross-validation approach (2021, Journal of Anxiety Disorders)
  • Testing the effect of tACS over parietal cortex in modulating endogenous alpha rhythm and temporal integration windows in visual perception (2020, European Journal of Neuroscience)
  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex Modulates Perceptual and Neural Patterns of Fear Generalization (2021, Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging)
  • Behavioral and Magnetoencephalographic Correlates of Fear Generalization Are Associated With Responses to Later Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy in Spider Phobia (2021, Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging)

Junghöfer's collaborative work features frequent coauthors such as Kati Roesmann, Elisabeth J. Leehr, Thomas Straube, Joscha Böhnlein, and Ulrike Lueken. The pattern of collaboration indicates involvement in multidisciplinary teams exploring anxiety, treatment response, and neural mechanisms.

Their publications appear in various scientific venues, with multiple contributions to bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Scientific Reports, SSRN Electronic Journal, NeuroImage, and the Journal of Anxiety Disorders.

Their research topics reflect a concentration on:

  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Anxiety, Depression, Psychometrics, Treatment, Cognitive Processes
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies
  • Hearing, Cochlea, Tinnitus, Genetics
