Translational Neuroimaging Marburg

I am a post-doc working in the PACT project (SFB/TRR 135, A3) which investigates how we create predictions about the sensory consequences of our actions and how that influences our behavior. My first degree is in Biology and after that I received my Master degree ‘Brain and Mind’ from the Medical school in Heraklion, Crete. In March 2018, I received my PhD in Clinical Neuroimaging from the Medical school, University of Heraklion, Crete. Other research interests include Resting State Networks alterations in different clinical populations.
