Research Interests
My research interests are the neural mechanisms underlying the processes of visual perception in general, mostly investigated using faces or objects. Therefore I am interested in neuroimaging techniques as the are the foundation to collect the data neccessary. Furthermore I am intrigued by the predictive coding theory and which range of phenomena in visual perception can be explained within this framework and which cannot, as well as how they can be modulated by additional factors.
