As a neuropsychologist and group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neurosciences in Leipzig, PD Dr. Daniela Sammler, born in 1978, investigates the functional mechanisms of the brain at the interfaces between music and language. Sentence melody, songs and harmony are just as much a part of her field of work as the influences of top musical form in professional musicians or brain damage in stroke patients on their motor-cognitive performance. Research stays at the Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, the Université Nord-de-France in Lille, the University of Glasgow as well as the Western Sydney University led to numerous publications in internationally recognized journals documenting her extensive repertoire in the field of music and language cognition. Her dissertation on the comparative neuroanatomy of music and speech processing in patients with brain lesion or pharmacoresistant epilepsy was awarded the Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society for outstanding scientific achievements in 2009. In her habilitation at the University of Leipzig, which she completed in January 2018, she examines the neuronal foundations of intonation in speech and music.
