Seung-Goo Kim

Seung-Goo [IPA:sɯŋgu] KIM (김승구;金勝九) is a cognitive neuroscientist specialized in human neuroimaging and auditory processing. Seung-Goo uses computational models of sounds and non-invasive human neuroimaging techniques (functional/structural MRI and M/EEG source imaging) to investigate (1) how the musical sounds are represented in the human brain and (2) how these neural representations are transformed to evoke intense emotions.

After a Ph.D. program at Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Germany in 2017 (PI: Dr. Thomas R. Knösche), he has worked as a postdoc at the University of Cambridge (PI: Dr. Valerie Voon), Duke University (PI: Dr. Tobias Overath), and currently works as a research scientist at Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (PI: Dr. Daniela Sammler).
