Evelyn Muschter

Evelyn Muschter is a postdoctoral researcher at the cluster of excellence CeTI at the TU Dresden. She contributes to human-in-the-loop research, specifically focusing on tactile and multisensory human perception. Evelyn’s interests are in particular in the role of attention and live span development in perception and brain oscillations. She investigates methodologies, procedures and techniques to connect neuroscience with technology and technology development. To this aim, Evelyn uses a variety of experimental techniques including psychophysics and neurophysiological measures (e.g. EEG).

Previously, Evelyn has worked on her doctoral research on The construction of perceptual space-time through brain oscillations and completed her PhD in Brain and Cognitive Science in the Mechanisms of Active Perception Group at CIMeC / University of Trento. She holds a Master in Cognitive Science from CIMeC /University of Trento and a Bachelor in Psychology from Cleveland State University.
