Felix Dreyer, PhD
Felix Dreyer completed his PhD at the Brain Language Laboratory of the Freie Universität Berlin in 2018 with his dissertation titled »Neuroimaging and brain lesion patient investigations on the role of neural motor systems for processing concrete and abstract semantics«.
He holds a M.Sc. in Psychology and a B.Sc. in Cognitive Science, following studies at the Universities of Leipzig, Osnabrück, Manchester (UK) and the Medical Research Council, Cognition and Brain Science Unit in Cambridge (UK).
In his research he is investigating neural correlates of linguistic processing in healthy and clinical populations, like stroke or brain tumor patients.
At »Matters of Activity« he is an Associate Investigator in the »Adaptive Digital Twin« setting within the Cutting project, working together with Thomas Picht and Lucius Fekonja from the Neurosurgery department of the Charité.
