Kalenscher's recent work explores precommitment strategies, social discounting, and reward processing using animal and human models. His studies involve tetrode recordings, fMRI, and pharmacological interventions to dissect neural mechanisms.

He is affiliated with the Neuroscience Network Düsseldorf and collaborates on projects involving mutual reward systems, stress-related decision biases, and gender differences in social preferences. His research bridges fundamental cognitive processes with real-world economic behaviors.
