As project leader of the highly innovative and interdisciplinary project "Synchronization phenomena related to Brain and Music" (SynProMusic) I organize the interplay of experimental and theoretical research activities. Due to my two-fold education, I can rely on well-founded expertise in music psychology on the one hand, and on extensive experience in the fields of nonlinear dynamics, neurophysiology, and acoustics on the other hand. As an associate editor of the journal Frontiers in Network Physiology, I focus on the new conceptual framework of network physiology and the coordination and network interactions between different systems as features of their physiological state and function. One of the focuses is on the influence of music on neural networks. To this end, as conference chair of the workshop "Adaptivity in nonlinear dynamical systems" at the PIK in 2022, I have been able to bring together scientists from different fields.
