Dr Anna Behler is an early-career researcher working at the intersection of computational neuroscience, neuroimaging and applied data science, with a background in physics. Her interdisciplinary work has advanced MRI-based biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases and contributed to understanding how brain dynamics, perception and behaviour can be quantified under naturalistic conditions.

Her current research spans several domains, including computational modelling of cortico-hippocampal dynamics during memory formation, eye-movement-based inference of cognitive state, MRI-based brain temperature mapping, and CSF–BOLD coupling as a marker of brain physiology. Across these areas, she combines neuroimaging, eye tracking, behavioural data, physiological measures, statistical modelling and machine learning to study brain function in clinically relevant contexts.

Dr Behler has worked with both healthy participants and clinical populations, including people living with neurodegenerative disease. She has experience across the full research pipeline, from participant-facing data collection and quality control through to multimodal analysis, modelling, visualisation and interpretation.

She has presented at national and international conferences and co-authored 31 peer-reviewed publications, including 10 first-author papers and one last author article.
