Ursula 
Sailer

Dr. Barış Yeşilyurt
General Manager
"The man with a hat", if you ever met Baris, you know that he has a real passion for neuroimaging, that´s probably why he received his PhD from the University of Tübingen/MPI in the field of EEG/fMRI. From EEG to fNIRS and fMRI he is a jack of all trades and enjoys nothing more than supporting you with the best research solutions you may wish for.
Lydia Timm, PhD
Scientific Consultant
"Music was her first love", that´s why a PhD with a focus on auditory neuroscience was a natural path for Lydia. With more than 15 years of experience Lydia is happy to assist you with any questions. If she is not in a call or answering emails, she is most likely organizing the next event or conference.
Edyta Charyasz

With a background in Physics and a PhD focusing on ultra-high field fMRI Edyta has a proven track record of 15 years not only excelling in neuroimaging research, but also as a dedicated educator to peers and students.
