Sibylle Herholz received her PhD in neuroscience in 2009 from the University of Münster (Germany) under the supervision of Christo Pantev. For her dissertation she studied the effects of short- and long-term musical training on behavioral and neuronal correlates of auditory processing. Currently, she investigates the effects of musical training on neuronal and behavioral correlates of auditory imagery with Robert Zatorre at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI). She is also involved in a collaboration project with Andrea Halpern (Bucknell University) on memory and musical imagery, and in collaboration projects with colleagues of University of Münster on expertise effects on music and language processing and on short-term musical training in stroke recovery. Sibylle is an enthusiastic amateur musician and has played the violin and piano since childhood, and she enjoys singing as a member of the St Lawrence Choir in Montreal area.

Dr Herholz is the speaker in the 23rd Biology of Music Lecturship, April 10, 2011.
