Postdoctoral Researcher
Johannes Niediek studied mathematics with physics minor at the University of Bonn (diploma 2011). He then joined the Group of Prof. Dr. Dr. Florian Mormann at the Department of Epileptology at the University of Bonn as a scientific assistant, working with epilepsy patients implanted with depth-electrodes for presurgical monitoring. He completed his PhD in neuroscience at the University of Bonn (2018). He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Group of Prof. Dr. Israel Nelken at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC) in Jerusalem, Israel, focusing on reinforcement learning methods in behavioral modeling.

Episodic memory consolidation by reactivation of human concept neurons during sleep reflects contents, not sequence of events
How the Brain Organizes Memories
A new study, published in Nature, reveals, for the first time, how the brain stores memory content and its context in two largely separate groups of nerve cells. Among those involved in the international research led by the University of Bonn was Dr. Johannes Niediek, a researcher at BIFOLD / TU Berlin, ML Group.
