Hello!

eckert

I am currently a research fellow at UCL with Rick Adams, where I am working on computational approaches to goal planning in humans and mice, and how it might break down in psychosis.

Previously, I was a post-doc at the Theoretical Cognitive Neuroscience Group (PI: Dominik Endres) at Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany. Here, I applied graphical models (such as Active Inference) to perception and decision-making.

I did my Ph.D. at the Visual Perception Group (PI: Philipp Sterzer) at Charité & the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience. My Ph.D. focussed on mechanisms of sensory information-processing in psychosis. I received the Robert Koch Prize for my dissertation.
