Dr Franziska Knolle University positionResearch Associate DepartmentsResearch ThemesInterestsI am interested in investigating the underlying mechanisms of predictive processing. Especially, I wish to explore how dysfunctional predictive processing might lead to various symptoms of psychiatric and neurological disorders, such as delusions or hallucinations. Brain structures I am particularly interested in in that respect are the basal ganglia and the cerebellum. I am using EEG and fMRI as well as behavioural paradigms to explore these topics.
