![]() | Prof. Simon Hanslmayr, PI Simon is a Professor at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow as well as the Director for the Centre for Neurotechnology. He is the head of the Neurotechnology, Cognition and Oscillations (NoT CoOL) Lab where he investigates brain oscillations in the service of attention and memory, and develops novel neurotechnology to support these processes in the healthy and diseased brain. Simon studied Psychology at the University of Salzburg where he obtained his PhD in 2005 under supervision of Prof. Wolfgang Klimesch. He held a postdoc position (2006-2010) at the University of Regensburg (supervisor Prof. K.H. Bäuml), before joining the Zukunftskolleg in 2010 at the University of Konstanz as an independent PI funded by an Emmy Noether programme grant from the DFG. In 2013 Simon moved to the UK where he joined the School of Psychology at the University of Birmingham as a Senior Lecturer, and was promoted to Reader in 2016. In 2020 Simon joined the University of Glasgow as a full Professor. [CV] - [Google Scholar] - [Pubmed] - [LinkedIn] - [Email] |
![]() | Eleonora Marcantoni, PhD student Eleonora is a PhD student in Simon’s lab funded by the MRC DTP in Precision Medicine joint between the University of Glasgow and Edinburgh and under the supervision of Prof. Simon Hanslmayr, Prof. Satu Palva and Dr Jian Gan. The PhD project focuses on using brain-informed high-precision stimulation protocols to improve memory. [CV] - [Google Scholar] - [Email] |
![]() | Ying Yao, PhD student Ying is a PhD student funded by the China Scholarship Council, supervised by Prof. Simon Hanslmayr and Prof. Maria Wimber. Her research focuses on neural oscillations, particularly theta rhythms in the hippocampus. She is currently investigating how theta phase reset supports memory encoding and retrieval in humans. Using advanced techniques like intracranial electrode recordings and MEG, her project aims to bridge human and animal studies, advancing our understanding of memory mechanisms and developing neurotechnologies for memory enhancement.

![]() | Yuxin Li, PhD student Yuxin is a PhD student at the University of Glasgow, supervised by Prof. Simon Hanslmayr and Prof. Maria Wimber. Her research focuses on elucidating the hippocampal mechanisms through which prediction errors influence memory formation for novel information in complex events, using a combination of behavioral modeling, MEG, and fMRI.

![]() | Jacqueline McDiarmid, Research Assisstant. Jacqueline is a Research Assistant to Professor Simon Hanslmayr at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Glasgow. With an academic history in Psychology and Psychological Research Methods, her research interest lies in memory, and she has worked on various projects including memory modulation and memory reconstruction. She is currently working on a project that uses rhythmic sensory stimulation to modulate memory and fMRI and DTI to detect changes in brain function and structure. [Email] |
| Xiangshu Wu, PhD Student (visiting). Xiangshu is a visiting PhD student from South China Normal University, funded by the China Scholarship Council. She is supervised by Professor Simon Hanslmayr and Dr Matthew W. Self at the University of Glasgow. Under the supervision of Professor Qi Chen, her research focuses on one-shot learning, particularly on how the brain rapidly builds representations of the world. Visiting Simon’s lab provides a valuable opportunity to further investigate the role of the hippocampus in these processes. [CV] - [GoogleScholar] - [Email] |
