Andrej Kral
Andrej Kral (born 1969) is a German / Slovak neuroscientist and director of the Institute of AudioNeuroTechnology at the Hannover Medical School. He is one of the pioneers of research on plasticity, development and critical (sensitive) periods of the deaf auditory system. He postulated the theory that following deafness in early childhood, the connections between auditory areas in the cerebral cortex, as well as the connections between auditory system and other brain parts become functionally weaker ('decoupling theory'). Prosthetic therapy of hearing disorders is a further focus of his work.

Andrej Kral was born in Bratislava, Slovakia. After studies of human medicine at the Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia (MD 1993 PhD 1998) he joined the Institute of Pathophysiology at the School of Medicine, Comenius University. In 1995 he received a DAAD scholarship and moved to Frankfurt am Main, Germany, to work on neurophysiology of cochlear implants and deafness in the labs of Prof. Rainer Klinke, School of Medicine, J.W.Goethe University. An appointment to Associate Professor of Physiology followed in 2002 and in 2004 he moved to the University of Hamburg, becoming Professor of Neurophysiology at the University Clinics Hamburg-Eppendorf. There, he was deputy director of the Institute of Neurophysiology. In the same year he has also been appointed Adjunct Professor of Cognition and Neuroscience at The University of Texas at Dallas, USA. Since 2009 A. Kral has been chair and Professor of Auditory Neuroscience, director of Dept. of Experimental Otology, scientific director of the ENT Clinics and head of the Institute of AudioNeuroTechnology, Medical University Hannover.
