I am a biophysicist focusing on the application of methods from physics to the study of evolution, with a current emphasis on brain morphometry. My contributions to CZ will be centered around these topics, but below, I provide a broader list of topics to which I might add contents. If you are up to work on one of those, feel free to drop me a line to initiate joint action. In case you find no match, you may have more luck with the lists of music psychology topics, biology topics, core articles, special pages, most linked pages or most wanted articles. More information about me can be found via my lab page, papers, CV, blog and band.

Science in general

Applied cognitive science: The use of neuroscientific insights in non-neuroscientific environments, particularly in management and politics. ^[e]
Biolinguistics: An interdisciplinary field that explores human natural language’s fundamental properties, development in individuals, use in thinking and communicating, brain implementation, genetic underpinnings, and evolutionary origins. ^[e]
Biology: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Biomineralisation: The study of minerals produced or maintained by biological systems. ^[e]
Biomusicology: The study of biological aspects of music perception and production. ^[e]
Biophysical economics: The study of economic systems as a kind of metabolism, using biophysical methods from biological thermodynamics and ecology. ^[e]
Biophysics: The study of forces and energies in biological systems. ^[e]
Brain evolution: The process by which the central nervous system changed over many generations. ^[e]
Brain morphometry: The quantitative study of structures in the brain, their differences between individuals, correlations with brain function, and changes of these characteristics over time. ^[e]
Brain plasticity: The ability of the brain to adapt to new situations, e.g. by learning or neurogenesis. ^[e]
Cold hardiness: The ability of an organism to survive temperatures below the melting point of water, i.e. at 0°C or less (at sea level). ^[e]
Comparative physiology: The study of biochemical and biophysical processes of tissues across species. ^[e]
Cryopreservation: A process where cells or whole tissues are preserved by cooling to low sub-zero temperatures. ^[e]
Ethnomusicology: The study of music in its cultural context. ^[e]
Evolution: A change over time in the proportions of individual organisms differing genetically. ^[e]
Evolutionary medicine: The study of diseases from the point of view of human evolutionary biology ^[e]
Fossils: A naturally preserved record of ancient life. ^[e]
Music perception: The study of the neural mechanisms involved in people perceiving rhythms, melodies, harmonies and other musical features. ^[e]
Music psychology: The study of how, when, where and why people engage in music and dance. ^[e]
Open access: The free, immediate online access to the results of research, coupled with the right to use those results in new and innovative ways. ^[e]
Origin of life: How did self-replicating biochemistry and cells arise from the prebiotic world approximately four billion years ago? Aka abiogenesis. ^[e]
Physics: The study of forces and energies in space and time. ^[e]
Schizophrenia: A mental disorder characterized by impaired perception of the individual's environment. ^[e]
Shape description: Mathematical subfield concerned with the quantification of arbitrary shapes. ^[e]
Steady-state economy: An economic concept that takes into account the needs of future generations and the limitedness of natural resources. ^[e]
Sustainability: An environmental concept about balancing the economic needs of current and future generations, given finite resources. ^[e]
Sustainable science: A movement to incorporate sustainability issues into scientific activities. ^[e]
Vocal learning: The ability of an organism to imitate sounds not inborn to it. ^[e]

Biophysical methods

Computational Morphometry: Add brief definition or description
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy: Add brief definition or description
Dielectrophoresis: Add brief definition or description
Electrorotation: The rotation of dielectric particles induced by application of rotating electric fields. ^[e]
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A neuroimaging technique used to monitor task-specific blood oxygenation, primarily in the brain. ^[e]
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: The use of magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation to visualize internal structures of non-magnetic objects non-destructively. ^[e]
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: The use of electromagnetic radiation, in the presence of a magnetic field, to obtain information regarding transitions between different nuclear spin states of the nuclei present in the sample of interest. ^[e]
Optical Tweezers: Add brief definition or description
Patch clamp: An electrophysiological recording technique that enables the investigation of single or multiple ion channel properties. ^[e]
Scanning electron microscopy: Add brief definition or description
Transmission electron microscopy: Add brief definition or description
UV Laser ablation: Add brief definition or description
