A long time ago, Marcus studied Psychology at the University of Konstanz, followed by doctoral (PhD 2004) and post-doctoral studies at the same institution. Subsequently he held positions at the University of Münster (2008, Neurology), The University of Florida (2008-2010, Brain Imaging Rehabilitation and Cognition Lab) and the Charité University Medicine Berlin (2010-2013, Neurology). In 2013, he was awarded a Future Fellowship by the Australian Research Council and continued his research for six years at the University of Queensland in Brisbane (Center for Clinical Research, UQCCR). Currently, he is the Director of the Cognition, Aging, and Brain Stimulation lab in the Department of Neurology at the University Medicine Greifswald (since 10/2019). Outside of work, he keeps himself busy dealing with toddler tantrums, playing tennis and catching pokemon.

Anna studied at the Philipps-Universität in Marburg and holds degrees in Clinical Linguistics (M.A., licensed speech and language therapist) and Cognitive and Integrative Systems Neuroscience (M.Sc.). Since 2017 she has been a doctoral researcher in the Cognition and Plasticity group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. Here she investigated the neural network interactions of speech comprehension in challenging listening conditions via fMRI. She joined the Meinzer Lab in October 2022 and will work on a project that combines tDCS with speech and language therapy in patients with primary progressive aphasia. In her leisure time she enjoys outdoor activities such as beachvolleyball, bouldering and hiking and loves playing with her cats.

Filip graduated with a diploma in Biology from the University of Jena in 2013, followed by studies in mathematics, philosophy and life in general. In 2016, he started his PhD project at the Medical Faculty of the University of Ulm, which investigated neuronal correlates of flow experience and its modulation tDCS. He has been with the Cognition, Aging, and Brain Stimulation lab since October 2020 and will be working on a DFG funded project concerned with imaging of language network modulation by tDCS. In his spare time, he enjoys reading philosophical literature and keeps himself in shape with gymnastics, bouldering and playing volleyball.

Nina is licensed speech and language therapist (University Medicine Göttingen, 2012) and holds B.Sc. (Logopedics, 2014) and M.Sc. (Teaching and Research Logopedics, 2016) degrees, that were awarded by the RWTH Aachen. Nina's PhD project, the cytoarchitectonic parcellation of the frontal operculum, was carried out at the Cécile and Oskar Vogt Institute of Brain Research at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and at the Institute of Neurosciences and Medicine at Research Center Jülich. Since April 2020, Nina works in the Department of Neurology (Cognition, Aging, and Brain Stimulation lab and Cognitive Neurology lab) at the University Medicine Greifswald. She is currently involved in a multi-center trial that investigates potential add-on effects of tDCS on language recovery in post-stroke aphasia and other studies investigating the neural mechanisms underlying tDCS effects on language processing in neurotypical populations. In her free time, she enjoys extended walks and bicycle tours along the Baltic Sea.
