Scholar-generated biography
Klaas Enno Stephan is a researcher at the Translational Neuromodeling Unit (TNU), University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, focusing on Translational Neuromodeling, Computational Psychiatry, Computational Psychosomatics, Neuroimaging, and Brain Connectivity. His work integrates computational models with neuroimaging data to understand mental health disorders, particularly schizophrenia, and explores neural mechanisms underlying empathy, interoception, and cognitive processes. His research emphasizes Bayesian methods for model selection and dynamic causal modeling to analyze brain connectivity and functional localization. Stephan's contributions span both theoretical and applied aspects of computational neuroscience, with a focus on bridging clinical and neuroscientific domains.
