    Curriculum vitae

    Nicole Angenstein studied Biology from 1997 until 1999 at the Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg and Neurobiology from 1999 until 2002 at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. She did her PhD in the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology and received her PhD in Neurobiology in 2009 from the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. Since 2007 she worked as researcher in different projects funded by the DFG, BMBF and the county Saxony-Anhalt. The topics of her research are the (1) lateralized processing in the human auditory cortex, (2) hemispheric interaction during auditory processing, (3) effects of feedback on auditory perception, (4) effects of training on the processing in the auditory cortex, (5) effects of aging on auditory processing, and (6) central auditory processing in Cochlear Implant users. For her investigations she uses fMRI and EEG and multimodal imaging combining fMRI, EEG, psychophysiological and behavioural measurements. Between 2011 and 2018 she was principal investigator for the DFG projects “Hemispheric interaction during the lateralized processing of acoustic parameters in humans“ and “Hemispheric interaction during lateralized auditory processing in humans: effects of task difficulty, training and age“. Since 2018 she is head of the AG “Central auditory functions and dysfunctions”.
