Matthias Stangl is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University. His research focuses on human brain mechanisms that support crucial cognitive and behavioral functions in daily life, particularly spatial memory and the neural mechanisms underlying age-related impairments. Stangl employs advanced methodologies and novel neurotechnologies, including deep brain recordings in freely-moving individuals with permanently implanted neurostimulators, to study brain function in natural movement behaviors. He also conducts intracranial electrophysiological recordings with hospitalized patients, which provides insights into neural computations at the level of individual neurons. To complement invasive techniques, he uses non-invasive neuroimaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and scalp electroencephalography (EEG). This multimodal approach enables a comprehensive understanding of the neural mechanisms underpinning spatial memory and human behavior. Stangl's lab aims to deliver unique insights into human brain function across multiple scales, from single neuron activity to whole-brain dynamics.
