Short Biography
Raoul Wüllhorst has been working at the Chair of Addiction Research, where he is currently holding a postdoc position, since February 2017. He studied psychology at Humoldt-Universität zu Berlin, where he also obtained his doctoral degree in clinical psychology with Prof. Dr. Norbert Kathmann's group. In several EEG studies, he examined the processing of uncertainty and unpredictable threat in obsessive-compulsive disorder. From January 2016 to 2017 he worked in Prof. Dr. Markus Ullsperger's lab at Otto-von-Guericke Universität in Magdeburg, focusing on ethological models of decision making ("foraging").

Research Interests
- Neurobiology of craving regulation for addictive substances
- Learning and decision making (reinforcement learning, social and prosocial processes, risk taking)
- Electrophysiological correlates of cognitive control and their pathological (obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use disorder) and interindividual (impulsivity, compulsivity) modulation
-
Electrophysiological correlates of anticipation and processing of unpredictable threat, especially in obsessive-compulsive disorder
