Stefan Kölsch (born July 7, 1968 in Wichita Falls ) is a German-American psychologist and neuroscientist .

Career

Stefan Kölsch studied instrumental and vocal music at the University of the Arts Bremen and psychology and sociology at the University of Leipzig . In 1994 he passed his artistic diploma, in 1998 his diploma in psychology and in 2000 his diploma in sociology. With his work, Brain and Music: A contribution to the investigation of central auditory processing with a new electrophysiological approach , written at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences , he was awarded a Dr. rer. nat. PhD. After a postdoctoral stay at Harvard Medical School , he led the independent junior research group Neurocognition of Music , initiated by the Max Planck Society . In 2004 , Stefan Kölsch completed his habilitation in psychology at the University of Leipzig.

In 2006, Stefan Kölsch was appointed Senior Lecturer at the University of Sussex , where he researched and taught in the fields of cognitive and affective neuroscience, biological psychology and music psychology. In 2010 he accepted a professorship from the Free University of Berlin in the fields of music psychology and neuroscience in the Languages ​​of Emotion Cluster of Excellence . Since 2015 he has been professor of biological psychology, medical psychology and music psychology at the University of Bergen (Norway), to which he was appointed as part of the Norwegian top researcher program (Toppforskprogrammet).

research

Stefan Kölsch's main research areas are perception , attention , working memory , emotion , music therapy and personality . In his research he comes to the conclusion that the neural processes of music and speech processing are largely identical and that the activity of every brain structure that has a causal role in the development of emotions can be influenced by music. The latter is important for the therapeutic benefit of music, since numerous chronic somatic, psychiatric and neurological diseases or disorders have been associated with functional abnormalities or imbalances in these brain structures.
