Corentin Wicht, PhD

I am a cognitive neuroscientist investigating the neural correlates of expectations effects. Using dedicated designs, I am able to distinguish between pure pharmacological effects of a substance separately from the mere effects of expectations. In parallel, I am developping MATLAB- and R-based automated data preprocessing, analysis and visualization tools.

Fields of expertise:
· Data science
· Statistics
· Data visualization
· Neuroimaging data processing
· Expectations effects
· Placebo effect
