Wolfgang Hans Zangemeister

Wolfgang Hans Zangemeister (born July 16, 1945 in Hamburg ) is a German neurologist . He runs a practice and laboratory for dizziness, visual and balance disorders at the Medical Prevention Center in Hamburg.

Life

Wolfgang Zangemeister is a son of Hans Zangemeister , grandson of Wilhelm Zangemeister and great-grandson of Karl Zangemeister . His brothers are Christof Zangemeister (* 1939) ( utility analysis ) and Eberhart Zangemeister (* 1941), Andrea Zangemeister (* 1942) is his cousin.

Zangemeister passed the Abitur in 1964 at the learned school of the Johanneum in Hamburg. He then studied human medicine in Berlin and Munich, where he passed the medical state examination in 1971. With his dissertation at Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich with Hermann Pohl Meier and Norbert Mattussek it was established in August 1972 to the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Dr. med. PhD.

Zangemeister also studied painting and kinetic sculpture with Mac Zimmermann from October 1967 to July 1971 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . In July 1971 he and his group “Fiction Munich” exhibited a kinetic environment in the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden as part of the “Young German Art: 14 x 14” group work under the direction of Klaus Gallwitz . In the “14 times 14” series (1968–1973), the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden Baden was presented to the public as an open studio for two weeks at a time.

In January 1972 Zangemeister became a research assistant at the Neurological University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf with Rudolf Janzen. In the summer of 1978 and from the beginning of 1979 to the end of 1980, Zangemeister worked as a post-doc a . a. with a scholarship from the German Research Foundation at the University of California, Berkeley , at the Department of Physiological Optics, School of Optometry and Department of Biomedical Engineering with Lawrence W. Stark, and at the University of California, San Francisco , at the Department of Neurosurgery and Neuro -Ophthalmology with William F. Hoyt.

In 1982 he completed his habilitation with the subject "Active head rotations and gaze coordination" at the University of Hamburg . In 1987 he was appointed adjunct professor there. From 2000 until his retirement in 2011 he was head of the neurological polyclinic at the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf. In his research laboratory he and Carsten Buhmann continue to supervise doctoral students for joint research projects funded by the Rickertsen Foundation Hamburg, which resulted from previous studies with C. Kennard.

From 1981 to 2004, Zangemeister worked for one to two months as a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, in cooperation with Lawrence Stark's laboratory on questions of visual-vestibular interaction in humans, model simulations of motor systems such as head and Eye movement as well as caloric induced nystagmus.

Research topics

The aim of his work is to elucidate the neural processes involved in so-called higher cognitive performance such as visual perception, pictorial representation, or other intellectual performance. Zangemeister is international u. a. known for his research and considerations on the clinical neurophysiological basis of attention and identification processes in image recognition and image evaluation.

His research focuses on the area of ​​the visual system, visual perception by the brain, as well as the neurobiological foundations for art and aesthetics, especially the question of what neuroaesthetics can contribute to a better understanding in this context. Confirmation of the scanpath theory for active top-down vision under normal and pathological conditions, i.e. H. real visual field disorders simulated by means of virtual reality is just as much a long-term project of Zangemeister's studies as the influence of motor deficits. In correspondence with this, Zangemeister analyzed the connection between structural and synaesthetic content in the fine arts and selected literature of classical modernism (see works).

Zangemeister showed how the interaction of synaesthetic qualia with hidden and multiple meanings has always been of great importance for the inner quality of artistic works of art. Synesthesia arises from a synchronous connection of one sensory modality with one or more other sensory modalities. In art, synaesthesia describes the transfer and integration of sensory qualities and meanings within perceptual modalities in the visual arts, music and literature. For him, the latter gave rise to structural analyzes of selected writings by Gottfried Benn and Robert Musil (see works).
