Dr Louise Kirsch completed her undergraduate studies in Biology (BSc) at the Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS) in Paris, and then gained a MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience (Cogmaster) at the ENS, EHESS and University Paris Descartes. During her studies she did several internships (two at UCL and one at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science in Leipzig), and gained experience in different neuroimaging techniques (TMS, fMRI, and some EEG).

Louise completed her PhD within the SoBA Lab at Bangor University, in Wales with Prof Emily Cross; investigating how action experience influences action perception and how aesthetic evaluation of movement is impacted by experience. The focus of her first postdoc position at Bangor was on using advanced mutivariate imaging analyses to explore the learning process in the aging brain.

Louise research at KatLab is using neuroimaging techniques to investigate body awareness and affective touch in stroke patients and healthy adults; as well as to investigate self/other distinction and emotional biases in multisensory settings.
