Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Lindner is a data scientist and computational neuroscientist with nearly a decade of hands-on experience developing open-source analysis tools, advanced statistical methods, and multimodal neuroimaging workflows (EEG, fMRI, MRS, TMS). He has a PhD in cognitive neuroscience and a strong engineering bent—designing hardware and software solutions, building GPU clusters, and creating toolboxes for detecting directed interactions and dynamic information flow in time series. Comfortable across Python, Matlab, R, C++, SQL and big-data stacks, he bridges method development and practical deployment, teaching and supervising students while advising on MR safety and experimental design. His work uniquely blends MR physics, machine learning, and signal-processing expertise to tackle problems from reaction-time studies to large-scale neuroimaging datasets, and he often contributes reusable, well-documented open-source software for the community.
