Ben Boeschen

Specialist for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implants (TAVIs) and application. Consulting and aiding implanting Health Care Professionals (HCPs) during the procedure. Leading Workshops and certifying personel for safe preparation and use of the Heartvalve. Daily Commutes to Cardiology Clinics in the greater Northrhine Westphalia area.

As a university-sanctioned intern at CEMEREM, I had the opportunity to work under the supervision of Dr. Haast and Prof. Dr. Guye, focusing on and data analysis in multi-scale brain imaging in focal epilepsy. During my internship, I developed a program to merge multiple maps of brain regions and created a map of functional connections between epileptic regions, thalamus, and hippocampus. I honed my skills in Python programming, MRI techniques, graph theory, and (dynamic) functional connectivity research, contributing to a better understanding of brain activity in epilepsy.

During my internship at UKB Bonn with PD. Dr. Fell at the AG Cortical Oscillations research team, I gained invaluable experience in cognitive neuroscience, working on a variety of projects and honing my technical skills. Key responsibilities included: Single and multi-unit computer-assisted spike sorting Developing programming paradigms using MatLabs Psychtoolbox Assisting in mind-wandering experiments A significant achievement was creating a Sustained Attention to Respond (SART) task to investigate the content of mind-wandering, furthering the team's ongoing research. Throughout the internship, I also gained expertise in: Sleep scoring following AASM guidelines Computer-assisted spike-sorting Conducting experiments Additionally, I refined my programming skills in MATLAB and Python, equipping me for a successful career as neuroscience engineer.
