I am a trained biologist with a special interest in the interplay of brain and behavior. I completed my Bachelor and Master projects in behavioral biology, investigating emotions and cognition in mice. Then I decided I wanted to learn more about what actually goes on in the brain and therefore switched to biological psychology. Using neuroimaging, I investigate episodic memories and want to find out which factors render them more or less susceptible to later modification.

About the research unit

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.
