Summary
Hongbiao Chen is a doctoral student in cognitive computational neuroscience based in Munich, combining 11 years of research and engineering experience to probe human consciousness using machine learning and computational modelling. He blends a computer science foundation with an MS in computational neuroscience to analyze electrophysiological signals (iEEG, LFP, spikes) and link them to higher cognitive functions such as learning and memory. His work spans denoising, HRF modelling for fMRI-LFP integration, and neural coding investigations from roles at Max Planck, University of Tübingen, and Klinikum rechts der Isar. Practically minded, he brings signal-processing rigor and statistical ML to messy experimental data, turning complex neural recordings into testable models. Curious and philosophical, he frames technical projects around foundational questions of self and consciousness, an angle that guides both his experiments and code.
