Research Interests
Dr. Mennemeier’s work focuses on the neural mechanisms of attention, awareness, and sensory perception. Specifically, his studies examine how brain injury causes clinical disorders such as the neglect syndrome and how this information can be used to design rehabilitation therapies. Additionally, Dr. Mennemeier uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to research and treat clinical disorders like tinnitus and to study normal sensory perception.
