Bianca van Kemenade

Short info

My research focuses on how action affects perception. In particular, I‘m interested in how we predict the sensory outcomes of our actions, how these action-based predictions impact our perception, and how this process is implemented in the brain.

My long-term goal is to better understand how humans dynamically adapt action-based predictions to achieve efficient perception, and what drives individual differences in this ability. Furthermore, I aim to gain insight into how problems with this process may lead to altered perception in psychosis. I use behavioural methods, fMRI, and brain stimulation to study these questions.
