Dr. Jürgen Kayser, who joined the Psychophysiology Laboratory as a post-doctorate in 1995, is Associate Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and Research Scientist V at NYSPI. As an experimental psychologist with a strong background in quantitative research methods, he studies cognitive and emotional processes in both healthy and psychiatric populations using behavioral and psychophysiological measures. Apart from his interest in laterality of ANS/CNS function and dysfunction, his research contributions include improving traditional electrophysiologic methods by promoting principal components analysis of current source density as a generic and reference-free technique for ERP/EEG data analysis. Given his skills in technical computing, he is actively involved in the development of new software algorithms for ERP/EEG/EDA data analysis and processing.
