About

Elenor Morgenroth is a pioneering cognitive neuroscientist whose research bridges the frontiers of perception, consciousness, and clinical psychiatry. Her primary focus lies in understanding the neural mechanisms underlying hallucinations—both in healthy populations and in neuropsychiatric conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders. Her most influential work, published in 2024, demonstrates that real-time fMRI neurofeedback can modulate induced hallucinations and their underlying brain mechanisms. This groundbreaking study not only reveals that hallucinations are a common experience in the general population but also establishes a powerful, non-invasive tool for probing and potentially treating these phenomena. With 5 citations in its first year, this paper is rapidly shaping the field. Morgenroth’s contributions are particularly significant for patients with conditions where antipsychotic treatments remain challenging, as her work offers a novel pathway for intervention. By combining advanced neuroimaging with real-time feedback, she has opened new avenues for understanding how the brain generates false percepts and how we might learn to control them. Her research stands at the intersection of fundamental neuroscience and translational medicine, promising to transform both our understanding of consciousness and the clinical management of hallucinations.
