Armin Schnider MD

Armin Schnider, a professor of Neurorehabilitation at the University Hospital of Geneva, this book contains a comprehensive examination of a fascinating phenomenon of confabulation, an unintentional false production from memory. He is a part of the Division of Neurorehabilitation at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences of the University Hospital of Geneva. Our team conducts group and case studies of patients with cognitive dysfunctions after brain damage as well as studies on cognitive mechanisms in healthy participants. Our main research topic concerns mechanisms and rehabilitation of memory disorders, in particular amnesia and spontaneous confabulation. We use experimental neuropsychological evaluation and brain mapping using high-resolution EEG recordings allowing electrical source analysis.
