Mareike Wilson holds a B.Sc. in Psychology with a specialization in Neuroscience from Acadia University (Canada) and an M.Sc. in Neuroscience from the University of Freiburg. Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in Neuroscience at the University of Freiburg (completion in 2026). She has been a research associate at the IGPP since 2022 and, since 2023, has been working on the DFG-funded project “Neural correlates of visual ambiguity and meta-perceptual confidence rating.”
