Joschua Geuter

Joschua studied Biology at Leipzig University, where he first explored the neural basis of human auditory distance perception in Marc Schönwiesner's lab. Using EEG and virtual reality, he investigated how the brain integrates competing visual and auditory signals to construct spatial representations. Following his undergraduate work, Joschua expanded his research scope at Christian Schubert's psychoneuroimmunology lab in Innsbruck, where he examined circadian rhythms of stress biomarkers through integrative single-case study designs in humans.

During his MSc in Neuroscience at University College London, supervised by Gareth Morris and Stephanie Schorge, Joschua employed patch-clamp electrophysiology to characterise microRNA-regulated ion channel expression as a potential therapeutic approach for epilepsy. After graduating, he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences with Gesa Hartwigsen, where he used concurrent TMS-fMRI to investigate flexible cortical adaptation underlying semantic cognition.

Joschua has now joined the Harris lab as a PhD student, where he is interested in applying statistical and computational methods to population recordings to understand how brain organisation and function differ across sleep and wake states. He is particularly interested in understanding how neural networks reorganise during sleep and what this can reveal about how the brain functions.
