Dr. Niels Birbaumer

Dr. Niels Birbaumer is a renowned neuroscientist specializing in brain-computer interfaces and neurorehabilitation. He studies how brain signals can be used to control devices or communicate, especially in patients with severe paralysis or other neurological conditions. His research explores how the brain processes information and how this understanding can help restore functions or improve quality of life. Birbaumer’s work has advanced knowledge of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt—and has important implications for developing therapies for conditions like stroke, paralysis, and communication disorders.
