Dr. Louise P. Kirsch
Since 2021, I am an Associate Professor at Université Paris Cité, as a Researcher at the Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition Center (INCC). I aim to intertwine research and teaching as well as mentoring, as I believe both go hand in hand.
My research interests lie squarely within social cognition and focus on how experience shapes perception of the self and others.
To do so, I rely on behavioural data, training paradigms, physiological measures and brain imagery.
