Researcher biography
Dr Baumann obtained his Diploma (MSc) in Psychology from the University of Oldenburg (Germany) in 2003 and his PhD from the University of Regensburg (Germany) in 2006. His doctoral thesis investigated the neural correlates of audio-visual motion perception and the role of the neocerebellum in eye movements. He spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oslo (Norway) investigating the neural correlates of perceptual memory. Thereafter he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Glasgow on the perception of voice identity. He is currently employed as a research fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute in Prof. Jason Mattingley's Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory.
