Jochen A. Mosbacher is a psychologist and neuroscientist. He received his Dr. rer. nat. from the University of Graz for his work on the potentials of transcranial electrical stimulation to support arithmetic learning and the neurophysiological basics underlying these effects. Furthermore, he worked in the fields of neuropsychological diagnostics and dementia and is a registered clinical and health psychologist. Currently he is a senior researcher with the Cognitive Science Section, working on projects regarding an app-based resilience and stress training (AI-Refit), and the assessment and minimizing of cognitive load in human-robot interactions (EASIER). In both, his main research interest lies on the adaption and application of behavioural models to assess and optimize processes and procedures.
