Hello!
Dr. Laura Kaltwasser is a Psychologist & Neuroscientist
I am fascinated by art making us aware of ourselves. While I am still figuring out how to program this website, I invite you to enjoy ’13 ways of Thinking’ by Mert Akbal, an artist fascinated by neuroscience. Browse my research, media, publications and get in contact with me if you have any questions!

My research
Studying the concept of the self from an neuroscience angle, I have been putting forward the idea, that there are rather minimal aspects of the self, like the feeling of agency and ownership over the body, and more narrative features, like the construction of a coherent autobiography. Yet, the more I work with extended aspects of the self, like AI, I am thinking these sub contractors of the self are more blurry regarding their boundaries: Is my feeling of agency not also malleable based on the life experience I make in my autobiographical journey? Is my body ownership not also modulated by social reality?
