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:sound::notes::brain: and (2) how these neural representations are transformed to evoke intense emotions.:brain::smile::cry:

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).

Apr 06, 2025 I’m so happy to share my new preprint today: “Reverse Double-Dipping: When Data Dips You, Twice—Stimulus-Driven Information Leakage in Naturalistic Neuroimaging”🍟 [biorxiv].
Mar 22, 2025 Everything is Red Queen’s race. Docker-compose crumbles. Jekyll breaks. So, I have recreated my homepage from scratch by importing a new template (v0.14.3) 😇. Now we have the search function (cmd/cnt+K)! 🔍
