Curriculum Vitae

Marc Bächinger (born 1987 in Switzerland) studied Biology at ETH Zürich with a focus on Neuroscience. During his Master’s program he carried out various psychophysical experiments in the field of visual and auditory perception. His Master’s thesis investigated the perception of visual stimuli called Glass patterns rendered invisible by dynamic masking (motion-induced blindness). In parallel to his Master’s program he served as an intern at the University Hospital Zürich in the Laboratory of Experimental Audiology. There he worked on software for psychophysical experiments with patients who have cochlear implants. After finishing his Master’s Degree in 2012 he completed an internship at the Psychiatric University Hospital in Zurich as a research assistant. He recently obtained his PhD at the Neural Control of Movement Lab where he investigated different interventions to modulate activity within the sensorimotor system and was one of the first to apply a concurrent tACS-fMRI approach where the stimulation waveforms were tailored to the individual’s EEG activity. Since January 2018 he is continuing his research in the lab as a postdoctoral researcher.
