Gentle reader,
I am a German Psychologist and I do neuroscientific research on serotonergic hallucinogens (sHGs), including lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Being a Psychologist, I consider the psyche one of the most fascinating entities that exist, and I think that helping to decipher its ancient secrets has the potential to harbor good and benefit to each and every aspect of human health and society.
Trying to understand an entity as volatile and impalpable as the psyche, multiple disciplines (incl., Psychology, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Biology, Medicine, Philosophy...) need to come together and in the consent of their different methodological approaches trace the hidden psychic paths and re-sculpture what these possibly are made of.
Believing in the synergistic might of interdisciplinarity, I ran my PhD project in Neuroscience at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the OvG University in Magdeburg and now have come to continue my research in Optogenetics and Circuit Dynamics at the Imperial College in London.
Being awarded the highly reputed Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowship, my research is supported by the European Commission (Horizon 2020), and I now have the fortunate opportunity to learn from one of the pioneers and world-leading experts in the field of voltage imaging with genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs), Prof. Dr. Thomas Knöpfel, and through his guidance bring my scientific journey to the next level.
This blog is meant to give you an insight into my research and, as to this, make science more transparent to you. I will try and update it regularly. If you are interested, I'd be glad to welcome you here once in a while.
Best, Tobias
