It has been an extraordinary and important meeting and I am grateful to have been part of it.

New preprint on intrinsic neural timescales in humans during wakefulness and sleep
In this research work we use the spiking activity of neurons in the human brain to estimate the timescales of information processing during different states of vigilance.
Charity Concert for CASA HOGAR
After our plans for the benefit concert were thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic, I am excited to announce the new date for the concert:
Saturday August 27th 08:00 pm at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall.

Visiting Scholar at the Staresina Memory Lab at the University of Oxford
I am thrilled to start working in the Memory and Sleep Lab of Prof. Staresina at Oxford University. We will explore the mechanisms underlying memory consolidation using single unit recordings from the Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) in humans.
New Method Paper on Single Unit Recordings
In this paper we present possible solution to the problem that neural spikes are sometimes detected multiple times in human extracellular single unit recordings.
Frontotemporal Regulation of Subjective Value to Suppress Impulsivity in Intertemporal Choices
New paper on the neural basis of delay discounting using MEG and eye tracking.
How do we value rewards if we have to wait for them?
And do we act differently if we decide for ourselves or for our best friend?

A revisit of PSR J1909−3744 with 15-yr high-precision timing
New paper on the fascinating pulsar PSR J1909–3744 published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society:
This very well timed pulsar exhibits a highly eccentric orbit around the centre of our Galaxy. This pulsar was also one of the first astrophysical systems I have worked on. Find the link to the paper below:

Constraining the dense matter equation-of-state with radio pulsars
We published a new article in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in which we show that radio pulsars can help us understand the behaviour of matter at extremely high densities. Check out the link to the paper:
Supporting people in the Chocó during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Empowering women and girls in Columbia through education
Check out the great work of Casa Hogar, a charity project that I contribute to.
This project aims at improving living conditions of the mostly indigenous and underprivileged people of the Colombian Chocó by supporting education of girls and women.
