Being originally from Germany, I am now working in Ottawa/Canada where I research the relationship between the brain and mind in its various facets. The question driving me is: why and how can our brain construct subjective phenomena like self, consciousness, emotions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/29f5268f-795e-44c1-b9b4-dd3817e0508b/Screenshot+from+2023-04-30+09-38-23.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/16af4f22-a399-4a23-ba1d-66247d3ccfb0/Screenshot+from+2024-05-28+13-21-37.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/80f38689-9361-456e-8478-2a1329444f6b/Screenshot+from+2023-04-30+09-38-23.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/4af4d065-a54c-4b24-b7da-283f091c9026/9780367678074.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1626867236653-57RUSE1GJOV4M2NC88ZG/Screenshot+from+2021-07-21+12-30-15.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1621596917952-IGPFATDO8K9KJJCZKKC0/Brain+Sciences_Cover-draft.png Home - The Lost Neural Hierarchy of the the Autistic Self Participants suffering from autism show self-paradoxical symptoms. On one hand, they are isolated from others and focus only on themselves especially on body and its physical self. On the other hand, they rarely refer to themselves in the first-person, they display weak autobiographical memory, and they are unaware of their own emotional feelings – their mental self is weakened. What is the neural basis of such paradoxical symptoms? This review highlights the consistent hypofunction in anterior and posterior regions of the default-mode network (DMN) in both rest and task with decreased self-non-self differentiation – this relates to the weakened mental self. While, at the same time, the non-DMN and subcortical regions are relatively stronger increasing subjects’ focus on their physical self. We conclude that the nested neural hierarchy of physical and mental self is disrupted in autism which leads us to postulate a new model, the lost “Hierarchy of the Autistic Self” (HAS).

Participants suffering from autism show self-paradoxical symptoms. On one hand, they are isolated from others and focus only on themselves especially on body and its physical self. On the other hand, they rarely refer to themselves in the first-person, they display weak autobiographical memory, and they are unaware of their own emotional feelings – their mental self is weakened. What is the neural basis of such paradoxical symptoms? This review highlights the consistent hypofunction in anterior and posterior regions of the default-mode network (DMN) in both rest and task with decreased self-non-self differentiation – this relates to the weakened mental self. While, at the same time, the non-DMN and subcortical regions are relatively stronger increasing subjects’ focus on their physical self. We conclude that the nested neural hierarchy of physical and mental self is disrupted in autism which leads us to postulate a new model, the lost “Hierarchy of the Autistic Self” (HAS). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1583268371500-O1XZJCU6K2NQBO2LU77T/IMG_1237.jpg English https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1583268370125-7FC0G571J39E9DCLYVYC/IMG_1225.jpg English https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1412001710417-TEYVJJS4TORJISWIBQ14/image-asset.jpeg English http://www.georgnorthoff.com/positions daily 0.75 2014-12-03 http://www.georgnorthoff.com/javier-gomez-pilar daily 0.75 2021-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1621349726459-IUD4ZXJUADEMSRO93VXY/javier.png Javier Gomez-Pilar, PhD -

This interest led me down the rabbit hole of neuroscience where I hoped to find an empirical basis for the mind-brain relationship. I completed the "Middle European Interdisciplinary Master's Program in Cognitive Science" at the University of Vienna and spent 2 years as a graduate research assistant at the neurological clinic of the University Clinical Center in Ljubljana, Slovenia where I worked with various neurological and psychiatric patient populations. I am interested in the nexus of psychiatry, neuroscience and philosophy of mind and believe that altered experience in psychiatric disorders can serve as a segway into studying the healthy mind. One focus of my research is to tease apart dynamic features that can distinguish conditions on the psychotic disorder-mood disorder axis. Currently, I work on schizophrenia and depression, where I aim to shed light on resting state deficits in the phase processes in narrow frequencies. Another project deals with the dynamics of thoughts in a mind-wandering paradigm in healthy participants. In my free time, I like to read science fiction and host travellers from all over the world via Turstroots and Couchsurfing and ride my bike through Vienna. http://www.georgnorthoff.com/lab_yasir daily 0.75 2024-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1621423449483-XQS9CX377V0EXP33LG36/yasir.jpg lab_yasir - Yasir Çatal PhD student Yasir is originally an MD from Turkey.

The topics including mind-body problem, self and consciousness and how neurophilosophy explain them in an intersubjective view. He was always driven by the question: Why and how the material brain creates the spiritual mind? Dr. Xiang-Qun Chen has published his own works Quantum Method on mystery of Consciousness and Its Philosophical Studies (《意识之谜量子方法的哲学探究》), as well as works of translation authored by Georg Northoff, Neurophilosophy and Healthy Mind (《病脑启示》), The Spontaneous Brain (《自发的大脑》)，Minding the Brain (《留心大脑》). http://www.georgnorthoff.com/labfrancesca daily 0.75 2022-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1658398964143-23C1NFOMH4A9RCGQJUI5/Screenshot+from+2022-07-21+12-21-45.png Lab Francesca Petetta - Francesca Petetta I did my bachelor and my master degrees in Philosophy at the University of Macerata, Italy. I am currently a PhD student in the Pharmacology Laboratory of the University of Camerino, Italy. The main topic of my research is empathy. In general, I am very interested in the multidisciplinary study of consciousness and all its implications. I love music, mountains, sunsets, photography, all the tiny little secrets of nature, poetry and ice creams. http://www.georgnorthoff.com/labandreabuccellato daily 0.75 2022-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1659885255610-O9FWJCQ681HZ3ZG66W2D/Screenshot+from+2022-08-07+17-13-57.png lab_andrea_buccellato - Andrea Buccellato PhD Student Despite my higher education being mainly rooted in Biology (I own a Master’s Degree in Neurobiology), I have always favored the macroscopic level of investigation in my life: this is probably why I am interested in Systems Neuroscience and in the scientific study of consciousness. As a PhD student, I am now trying to add to my scientific “arsenal” every possible computational tool that could help us tackle relevant questions related to the conscious brain – and hopefully help neuroscience inform and improve clinical practice. In my spare time (while I’m not overthinking about consciousness) I train in a boxing gym. As many of my peers, I share the obsession of buying more books than any regular house could fit (sometimes I read them too). I have an ever-changing personal taste in music, cinema and arts in general: at this moment in time, I’m into hyperpop, David Fincher and Basquiat. http://www.georgnorthoff.com/lab_yujia daily 0.75 2022-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/528facb6e4b0a18b7e9cde91/1663271180395-QP26IF3X3MKPQ2IVMW0X/Screenshot+from+2022-09-15+21-45-58.png lab_yujia - Yujia Ao PhD student I’m currently a PhD student majoring in neuroscience at the University of Ottawa. My research focuses on global brain activity and its temporal dynamics. This involves trying to construct both the theorical and computational models to connect the brain, consciousness, and environment. Outside academia, I like to spend my time with my friends. We enjoy various kinds of Chinese food and we usually drink to midnight on weekends. When I’m alone, I usually play video and board games which can challenge my skills and intelligence. These include Dota 2, Europa Universalis, and Go chess. Since my arrival in Ottawa, I have enjoyed exploring the city on my beloved bike. http://www.georgnorthoff.com/2023 daily 0.75 2024-07-25 http://www.georgnorthoff.com/scales daily 0.75 2024-05-28 http://www.georgnorthoff.com/2024 daily 0.75 2024-12-23 http://www.georgnorthoff.com/2025 daily 0.75 2026-01-25 http://www.georgnorthoff.com/2026 daily 0.75 2026-03-25
