Maja Dschemuchadse

Maja Dschemuchadse is a Researcher at Technische Universität Dresden, focusing on dynamic systems theory applied to cognitive processes. Her work examines how emotions and contextual factors influence decision-making through continuous processes, instability regions in parameter space, and cognitive control mechanisms. She holds a PhD (2009) and Diploma (2003) in Psychology from TU Dresden under Prof. Thomas Goschke and Prof. Mike Rinck, respectively.

Her research emphasizes modeling the chaotic nature of human decision behavior using EEG and computational methods. Notable contributions include studies on within-trial conflict adaptation and temporal dynamics of action selection. She has been honored with the Werner-Straub-Award (2009) for exceptional academic achievement.

Collaborations include membership in the Volkswagen Foundation's 'European Platform for Life Sciences, Mind Sciences, and the Humanities' since 2007. Her work bridges cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and computational modeling to understand decision dynamics and emotional influences.
