Summary
Martin Bleichner is a Professor of Translational Psychology with over a decade of experience translating cognitive neuroscience into real-world applications using mobile and ear-EEG technology. His work focuses on how attention, speech processing, and cognitive load operate in naturalistic settings—measuring brain activity in traffic, conversation, and work environments to bridge lab findings with everyday behavior. Having led an Emmy Noether research group and progressed from postdoc to professorship at Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, he combines rigorous experimental methods with applied insight. As a scientific advisor to a BCI company, he also helps steer commercial translation of wearable neurotechnology. Less obvious: he routinely leverages discreet, around-the-ear electrode systems to capture neural signals that traditional lab setups miss, enabling studies of cognition where it naturally occurs.
