Judit studied Psychology at the University of Szeged in Hungary for her Bachelor's degree, followed by a Master's degree in Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience at Freie Universität Berlin. She completed her doctoral studies in Psychology, investigating the interaction of discrete and continuous magnitudes in (non-symbolic) number processing. In September 2024 she joined the research group "FOR 5429: Modulation of brain networks for memory and learning by transcranial electrical brain stimulation: A systematic, lifespan approach" and is currently working in project P8 "Enhancing value-based learning by focalized tDCS" at the Chair of Lifespan Developmental Neuroscience at TU Dresden.
Learning in different contexts, such as:
- Value-based learning and decision-making
- Perceptual learning
- Implicit learning
- Motor sequence learning
Numerical cognition
Methods: fMRI, EEG, behavioral approaches
