About
Kim Q. is a leading voice in the neurophenomenology of psychosis, with a focused research program bridging predictive processing, bodily self-awareness, and auditory perception. Her most-cited work, "Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Early Psychosis" (2019, 44 citations), demonstrates a critical breakthrough: experimentally induced sensorimotor conflict can trigger failures in bodily self-monitoring, producing presence hallucinations (PH) in early psychosis. This finding directly links dysfunction in sensorimotor predictive processing to the emergence of passivity symptoms—where patients misattribute self-generated actions to external sources. By designing a paradigm that isolates the mechanism of self-other confusion, Q. provides a powerful experimental model for studying the computational roots of hallucinations. Her contributions are foundational for understanding how the brain’s predictive machinery breaks down in schizophrenia spectrum disorders, offering a tangible bridge between computational psychiatry and clinical phenomenology. For students and researchers, Q.’s work exemplifies how tightly controlled behavioral experiments can illuminate the core disturbances of selfhood in mental illness, making her a key figure in the cognitive neuroscience of psychosis.
