Stefanie is a PhD student of clinical psychology at the University of Barcelona in Spain. She studies sensorimotor interactions and predictive coding in auditory perception and processing. Her interests include how movement influences perception, and how the brain is able to construct a representation of the reality around it. Stefanie hopes that her work can make a small contribution to the large collective enterprise of understanding how the brain gives rise to the mind, and what happens when the processes that contribute to this get disrupted. Stefanie has been working as a freelance writer, editor and radio presenter and enjoys working at the interface between the scientific community and the real world, trying to find the essential lessons that we can learn from scientific findings and translating them into accessible but scientifically accurate stories.
