Johannes Schultz

Johannes Schultz is an Assistant Professor at the University of Bonn's Institute for Experimental Epileptology and Cognition Research and Acting Director of the Center for Economics and Neuroscience. He investigates social perception and decision-making using neuroimaging and behavioral methods. His work examines how the brain processes animacy, social cues, and economic choices, with applications in schizophrenia research.

Key research areas include neural mechanisms of social avoidance, animacy perception from visual motion, and metacognition in clinical populations. He employs fMRI, psychophysics, and economic task paradigms to study subcortical and cortical networks.

Selected publications analyze:

• Animacy's role in behavior prediction (2022)
• Metacognition in schizophrenia (2022)
• Subcortical networks for social avoidance (2019)
• Intraparietal sulcus in animacy perception (2019)
