Marius sucessfully defended his thesis titled "Learning From The Unexpected: How Prediction Error Size Shapes Episodic Memory" on Friday April 24th at the University of Münster. Marius worked together with Ricarda Schubotz on project P01 studying prediction errors.
Here are some of his publications:

The research unit FOR 2812 "Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in episodic memory" is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The research unit studies the cognitive and neuronal mechanisms underlying scenario construction in episodic memory. We employ and integrate approaches from Philosophy, Psychology, and Experimental and Computational Neuroscience.
