Heribert Reitboeck

Heribert JP Reitböck ( born June 22, 1933, Ried ) is an Austrian emeritus neuroscientist.

He was appointed in 1978 as a university professor and successor of Hans Wolter at the Philipps- University of Marburg, where he established the Working Group on Applied Physics - on Neurophysics, where he further perfected the multi-electrode technology, so in 1989 actually object-related synchronizations could be detected in the visual system. According to this principle, he developed models of high-performance technical vision systems. Flexible coupling through synchronization between time world an important branch of brain research to better understand neural mechanisms of associative processes. Reitböck is regarded as a pioneer.

Career

Reitböck studied communications engineering at the Technical University in Vienna and graduated in 1958 as a graduate engineer. He studied physics and biophysics, he graduated from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, where he was cared for in his doctoral thesis of Boris Rajewsky of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics and 1963 as Dr. phil. nat. doctorate. In Vienna he received his doctorate in 1964 as Dr. techn. at the Technical University of Vienna. He developed a high-temperature ruby - molecular amplifier and a sensitive electron spin resonance spectrometer and examined the role of free (also radiation-induced ) radicals in biological substances.

With this expertise, he was from 1965 to 1969 consultant to the International Atomic Energy Agency. 1966 brought him the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, where he was co-opted to the Faculty of Medicine and solving technical pattern recognition problems learned in the brains of primates. He developed the now globally widespread registration technique with which one can observe many neurons simultaneously. 1978 he was appointed to Marburg. Reitböck is author of about one hundred scientific publications, books and conference papers and is the holder of six U.S. patents.
