معرفی
Univ.-Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Anne Schienle serves as a Professor at the Institute of Psychology within the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Graz. She has held significant leadership positions including Head of the Psychological Teaching and Research Clinic (PsyAmb) since 2008, Head of the Institute of Psychology (2011-2013), and Spokesperson for the Research Focus Brain and Behavior (2012-2015).
Her research centers on affective neuroscience, with particular emphasis on the role of basic emotions (especially disgust) in mental disorders and neural correlates of psychotherapy. She employs advanced neuroscience methodologies with a focus on fMRI and EEG to investigate emotional processing across various clinical populations. Her work bridges clinical psychology with neuroscientific approaches to understand emotional dysregulation.
Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent focus on disgust processing and its clinical implications, with strong methodological emphasis on neuroimaging techniques. Her research spans eating disorders, personality disorders, and emotion regulation mechanisms, demonstrating interdisciplinary integration between clinical psychology and neuroscience.
Scientific recognition:
- Postgraduate Fellowship at University of Wisconsin/Madison (1992)
