Christina Schmitter

Short info

I will investigate the neural correlates of sensory action-outcome predictions in patients with schizophrenia using fMRI and tDCS. The main research focus lies on the ability to update these predictions upon repeated prediction errors and thereby aims at obtaining a better understanding of dysfunctional predictive mechanisms in schizophrenia and potential improvements by tDCS stimulation.

I am working under the supervision of Prof. Straube.
