I am a biophysicist focusing on the application of methods from physics to the study of evolution, with a current emphasis on brain morphometry. My contributions to CZ will be centered around these topics, but below, I provide a broader list of topics to which I might add contents. If you are up to work on one of those, feel free to drop me a line to initiate joint action. In case you find no match, you may have more luck with the lists of music psychology topics, biology topics, core articles, special pages, most linked pages or most wanted articles. More information about me can be found via my lab page, papers, CV, blog and band.

General topics

Anthropology: The holistic study of humankind; from the Greek words anthropos ("human") and logia ("study"). ^[e]
Atmosphere: The layers of gas surrounding stars and planets. ^[e]
Atom: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Atom (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Applied cognitive science: The use of neuroscientific insights in non-neuroscientific environments, particularly in management and politics. ^[e]
Biolinguistics: An interdisciplinary field that explores human natural language’s fundamental properties, development in individuals, use in thinking and communicating, brain implementation, genetic underpinnings, and evolutionary origins. ^[e]
Biology: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Biomineralisation: The study of minerals produced or maintained by biological systems. ^[e]
Biomusicology: The study of biological aspects of music perception and production. ^[e]
Bionics: The application of biological principles in technical design. ^[e]
Biophysical economics: The study of economic systems as a kind of metabolism, using biophysical methods from biological thermodynamics and ecology. ^[e]
Biophysics: The study of forces and energies in biological systems. ^[e]
Biosphere: The entirety of places on Earth inhabited by living organisms. ^[e]
Biotechnology: The application of biological principles in industrial production ^[e]
Brain: The core unit of a central nervous system. ^[e]
Brain evolution: The process by which the central nervous system changed over many generations. ^[e]
Brain morphometry: The quantitative study of structures in the brain, their differences between individuals, correlations with brain function, and changes of these characteristics over time. ^[e]
Brain plasticity: The ability of the brain to adapt to new situations, e.g. by learning or neurogenesis. ^[e]
Cell: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Cell (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Circle: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Circle (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Coevolution: Multi-generation interactions between different species, e.g. as prey and preditor, flower and insect. ^[e]
Cold hardiness: The ability of an organism to survive temperatures below the melting point of water, i.e. at 0°C or less (at sea level). ^[e]
Comparative physiology: The study of biochemical and biophysical processes of tissues across species. ^[e]
Cryopreservation: A process where cells or whole tissues are preserved by cooling to low sub-zero temperatures. ^[e]
Disease: A condition of the body in which one or more of its components fail to operate properly, resulting in disability, pain or other forms of suffering, or behavioral aberrations. ^[e]
Earth: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Earth (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Ecosystem: A space in which multiple biological species interact. ^[e]
Energy: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Energy (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Environmental economics: The study of economic costs and benefits of environmental policies. ^[e]
Ethnomusicology: The study of music in its cultural context. ^[e]
Evolution: A change over time in the proportions of individual organisms differing genetically. ^[e]
Evolutionary biology: The study of the origin and descent of species, as well as their change, multiplication, and diversity over time. ^[e]
Evolutionary medicine: The study of diseases from the point of view of human evolutionary biology ^[e]
Evolutionary psychology: The comparative study of the nervous system and its relation to behaviour across species. ^[e]
Force: Vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. ^[e]
Fossils: A naturally preserved record of ancient life. ^[e]
Function: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Function (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Health: The default state of an organism under optimal conditions, a state characterized by the absence of disease and by the slowest natural rate of senescing. ^[e]
Language: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Language (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Life: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. ^[e]
Molecule: An aggregate of two or more atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds. ^[e]
Music: The art of structuring time by combining sound and silence into rhythm, harmonies and melodies. ^[e]
Music perception: The study of the neural mechanisms involved in people perceiving rhythms, melodies, harmonies and other musical features. ^[e]
Music psychology: The study of how, when, where and why people engage in music and dance. ^[e]
Neuroimaging: A group of techniques used to visualize structure and function of nervous systems, especially the vertebrate brain. ^[e]
