About
Anne Giersch is a leading cognitive neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of consciousness, time perception, and the sense of agency. Her work explores how the brain constructs our subjective experience of the present moment and our feeling of control over actions. Giersch is particularly known for her pioneering studies on the minimal self and temporal integration, often using innovative haptic and visual paradigms. Her most-cited paper, "Feeling of control of an action after supra and subliminal haptic distortions" (2015, 8 citations), investigates how unconscious sensory feedback can influence our sense of agency, revealing that even subliminal haptic distortions alter perceived control. This work has been foundational for understanding the pre-reflective mechanisms underlying selfhood. Giersch's contributions extend to clinical populations, particularly schizophrenia, where she has shown that disruptions in temporal binding and agency may underlie core symptoms. Her research has been widely recognized for bridging experimental psychology, philosophy of mind, and psychiatry, making her a key figure in contemporary consciousness studies.
