Research Interest
In recent years, we have increasingly shifted toward online meetings across different fields of work. What happens in our brain when we interact and work together with our partners during these conversations? Are we in sync with each other? We intend to understand these changes in brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
To investigate this, I work with an interdisciplinary team of experts from psychology at the Biopsychology Lab at the University of Oldenburg and computer scientists at the Cognitive Systems Lab at the University of Bremen, as part of the doctoral program of the KD² School.
