Dr. Michael Myoga

Biography

Michael Myoga is a Professor at the Department of Physiological Genomics at the Biomedical Center, LMU Munich. With a rich background in Neurobiology, Myoga has been a prominent figure in researching how spatial information from multiple senses converges in the brain, particularly focusing on auditory information integration with visual counterparts. He utilizes advanced techniques including in vitro patch-clamp electrophysiology, optogenetic stimulation, and in vivo two-photon calcium imaging to explore the intricacies of multisensory integration within midbrain circuits. Myoga has also collaborated with leading scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology to investigate the contextual dependence of spatial coding in the auditory cortex, employing innovative behavioral training paradigms with head-fixed mice. His extensive work has significantly contributed to the understanding of auditory and visual integration at the neural level.
