My research focuses on the interplay of perception and action. I’m interested in how humans predict the sensory outcome of their actions and how a dysfunction of this process leads to psychopathological symptoms, such as hallucinations and passivity phenomena. My long-term goal is to better understand the etiology of mental illnesses, in particular how genes and environment shape the brain, its functioning and emergent thoughts, emotions and behaviour. I combine experimental psychophysics, fMRI and EEG in smaller samples with large scale, deeply phenotyped, longitudinal cohort studies.
