ABC BRAIN LAB - People



TEAM LEADER
		Lilian KONICAR, Dr.ⁱⁿ MMag.^a, BA. eMail: lilian.konicar@meduniwien.ac.at Tel: +43-1-40-400-37460 The ABC BRAIN LAB was officially inaugurated in May 2017 by Lilian Konicar, who joined the Department for Child- & Adolescent Psychiatry at the Medical University of Vienna in May 2015. After her studies of Psychology and Communication Science at the University of Vienna, she did a PhD in Neuroscience at the International Max Planck Research School, parallel to her work in the research group Bioethics of the International Centre of Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities (both at the Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen, Germany). In her postdoctoral phases at the Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioral Neurobiology (Medical University of Tübingen, Germany), she continued working on her main areas of interest: brain plasticity and the link between emotion-cognition-behavior, Psychophysiology, Clinical Psychology/Psychiatry as well as brain self-regulation and brain stimulation as fruitful neurobiological-based treatments using different neuroimaging techniques like EEG, tDCS/tACS and fMRI. She has been trained as a biofeedback- and neurofeedback expert as well as in Clinical Psychology (Clinical Psychologist, licensed in Austria).
RESEARCHERS:

		Karin PRILLINGER, MSc Position: PhD Student eMail: karin.prillinger@meduniwien.ac.at Karin graduated at the University of Vienna, receiving a Master of Science in Psychology in June 2016. After working with patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder for her clinical training, she joined the ABC BRAIN LAB at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in April 2017. Her research interests comprise the effects of neuromodulation on different psychiatric disorders. She currently works on a project to investigate the effects of an intensive neurofeedback treatment of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

		Stefan RADEV Position: Diploma Student eMail: abcbrainlab@meduniwien.ac.at Stefan received his B.Sc. in Psychology from Heidelberg University in 2016. Currently, he is studying Clinical and Cognitive Psychology and Computer Science in Heidelberg. His interests encompass machine learning, software engineering, cognitive modelling, and cognitive neurophysiology.

		Ramona Lorena HACK, Mag.^a rer.nat. Position: PhD Student eMail: abcbrainlab@meduniwien.ac.at Ramona is part of the ABC BRAIN LAB since April 2018. As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist she is working with people with substance and non-substance related addiction forms, especially alcohol use disorder. Her research interests focus on investigating cognitive and emotional regulation interventions and their impact on qEEG patterns. In particular her thesis topic focus on EEG based neuromodulation interventions within inpatients with alcohol use disorder and the linkage between central and autonomous nervous system.

		Dinah MORDEHAY, BSc. Position: Diploma Student As part of her studies in Psychology at the University of Vienna, Dinah joined the ABC BRAIN Lab in 2020 and soon intended to stay for further studies, taking the opportunity to write her master thesis in our LAB. Being interested in neuropsychological processes, the combination of working in research on one hand and clinical engagement on the other hand is what attracted her to the ABC BRAIN Lab. For her diploma in Psychology she will focus on the effects of tDCS application on adolescents with depressive disorders.




ALUMNI AND FORMER LAB MEMBERS:


		Carolin WALEEW , BSc. Position: Diploma Student Carolin is a master’s student in Psychology at the University of Vienna. She has been part of the ABC BRAIN LAB since July 2018. Due to her high interest in Neuropsychology and its research, she particularly aims to gain a deeper understanding of diseases and disorders of the brain and the central nervous system. Currently, she is working on her master´s thesis about Neurofeedback training in female adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

		Theresa LINDORFER, BSc. Position: Diploma Student As part of her studies in Psychology at the University of Vienna, Theresa joined the ABC BRAIN LAB in May 2018 for completing an internship. Her interests focus on neuropsychology and developmental psychology and in her future working life, she aims for working with children and adolescents. As Theresa is thoroughly intrigued by novel therapy methods for children with diseases, she just started her master’s thesis about the effects of Neurofeedback training on female adolescents with autismus spectrum disorder.

		Gabriel AMADOR DE LARA, PhD Position: Post Doc Researcher Gabriel is a member of ABC BRAIN LAB since May 2019. After graduating in Psychology at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil), he worked as a clinical psychologist at the Brazilian public mental health system and finished a MSc. in Clinical Psychology. In 2014 he started to work as a research assistant at the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology (Faculty of Medicine) of the Georg August University of Göttingen, Germany, where he completed his PhD in Neuroscience in 2018. In Göttingen, his research focused on the application of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation to investigate long-term memory and brain plasticity in humans. At the ABC BRAIN LAB, his investigation efforts target the application of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation as a therapeutical tool to diverse psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. His main research interests are cognitive and affective Neuroscience, psychopathology and public mental health.

		Sina BENNER Position: Internship Sina is studying psychology at the University of Constance, Germany. During previous internships Sina developed an interest in child and adolescence mental health. To gain further experience with this clinical population, she joined the ABC BRAIN LAB in August 2019. Since she is also interested in the structures of the brain and how they are translated into behavior, she is engaged in a current neurostimulation clinical trial.

		Theresia VOLK, BSc. Position: Diploma Student Theresia joined the ABC BRAIN LAB in July 2019 for an internship. Studying Psychology at the University of Graz with a focus on Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology, she is interested in research that combines these fields. Her aim is to develop an understanding of altered physiological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders and how they can be modified through interventions like Neurostimulation. Currently she is working on her master thesis about the effects of tDCS on cognitive empathy in male adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

		Robert DIEHM, Mag.rer.nat. Position: PhD Student eMail: robert.diehm@meduniwien.ac.at Robert was part of ABC BRAIN LAB from the beginning in 2017 until December 2018. He graduated in Psychology in 2015 and started his doctoral program of Applied Medical Science in 2016. His thesis topic targets social and emotional learning with a smartphone application in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He will graduate in medicine in July 2019 with his diploma thesis about changes in Emotion Regulation in Borderline Personality Disorder during a DBT-A skills group. His research interest are emotion regulation including biological and neuronal correlates and the modification through interventions.

		Kamer DOGANAY, Mag.^arer.nat Former Position: PhD Student Kamer graduated Psychology at the University of Vienna in March 2013. In May 2014 she was registered as a Clinical- & Healthy Psychologist in the related official list from the Federal Ministry of Health.

		Lisa Xiaolu LUAN, BSc Former Position: Internship Lisa studied Psychology at the University of Vienna. She joined the Lab in 2017, investigating resting-state EEG activity in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and its potential for change through neurofeedback training. More generally, she is interested in brain self-regulation and neuroplasticity. Lisa is continuing her education with the research master in psychology at the University of Amsterdam.

		Iva MIKULIC, Mag.^arer.nat Former Position: Internship / Research Assistant Iva joined the Neurofeedback Lab in April 2017 after receiving her Master (Mag.rer.nat.) in Psychology from the University of Vienna in January 2016. While her range of interest is board, her current focus lies in neurofeedback, EEG and neurophysiology.
