Anna-Lea Beyer
Main Focus
Anna-Lea is a graduate research assistant in the Cognitive Neuroscience and Neurotechnology lab led by Dr Romy Lorenz. She mainly works with ultrahigh field 9.4T rs fMRI data to observe layer-specific activity. In addition, she hopes to optimize cognitive task design by applying neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization to real-time fMRI.
Key words: brain gradients, fMRI/MRI, resting-state fMRI, neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization, cortical layer analysis, machine learning, brain-computer interfaces
Curriculum Vitae
After obtaining an undergraduate degree in Psychology from King's College London, Anna-Lea is currently a master's student in Neural and Behavioural Sciences at the Graduate Training Center of Neuroscience in Tuebingen. During her final-year dissertation with Professor Robert Leech, she developed a novel approach to identify brain gradients from behavioural and large-scale neuroimaging data.
