معرفی
Dr. Corinna Haenschel is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience at City, University of London, where she joined in 2011. Her work bridges clinical psychology and neuroscience, focusing on the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes in both healthy individuals and those with psychiatric conditions. She serves as Chair of the Senate Research Ethics Committee and teaches courses including Introduction to Clinical Psychology, Biological Psychology, and Clinical Skills for the MSc in Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience.
Dr. Haenschel completed her BSc/MSc in Psychology at the University of Bamberg, Germany, followed by a PhD in Psychological Medicine from Imperial College London. Her doctoral research investigated human fast cortical oscillations during auditory change detection using EEG. She also trained as a chartered clinical psychologist with a focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Goethe-University Frankfurt.
Dr. Haenschel's primary research focuses on applying behavioral measures, neurophysiological techniques, and functional imaging during cognitive tasks in both normal and clinical populations. Her work specifically examines memory processes in healthy controls and individuals with cognitive dysfunctions using EEG, with emphasis on event-related potentials and neural synchrony in cognition.
She has developed a longitudinal program investigating student mental health in collaboration with Drs. Gaigg & Fett, including research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student well-being. Her research often explores the intersection between visual processing, working memory, and psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia.
Dr. Haenschel's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on the neural correlates of cognitive processes, particularly using EEG to study working memory, visual processing, and their relationship to psychiatric conditions. Her work spans basic cognitive neuroscience investigations to applied research on student mental health, with increasing attention to the impact of social factors and the pandemic on psychological well-being.
- NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from the Brain & Behaviour Research Foundation for research on visual processing deficits in schizophrenia
- John Grace QC PhD Scholarship from the Schizophrenia Research Fund and Mental Health Research UK
- BIAL foundation grant to investigate visual information processing and working memory
Dr. Haenschel actively supervises BSc, MSc, and PhD dissertation projects and supports personal tutees. She has received multiple competitive research grants that have supported her investigations into visual processing, working memory, and their relationship to schizophrenia and related conditions. Her current research includes a longitudinal program on student mental health developed in collaboration with colleagues Drs. Gaigg and Fett.
Dr. Haenschel is affiliated with the Centre for Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience at City, University of London. Her research involves collaborations with multiple institutions and researchers, particularly in Germany where she previously worked at the Max-Planck Institute for Brain Research and University Clinic of Psychiatry in Frankfurt. She frequently collaborates with researchers studying schizophrenia, cognitive neuroscience, and student mental health.
