Research assistant in the Person Perception Research Unit at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena
Main research interests:
My research is primarily focused on the influence of temporal context on face perception; in particular, I am interested in examining the effects of attention, expectation and probability on adaptation. In order to examine these interactions, I apply functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) as well as Electroencephalography (EEG) and conduct behavioral experiments.
