Alexandra Hempe is a psychologist (M.Sc.) currently completing her postgraduate psychotherapy training at the IBP Institute Winterthur. Her particular interest lies in the electrophysiological correlates of altered states and treatment response, which she investigated in her master's thesis on an ayahuasca analogue using EEG and ECG. She has worked clinically on the inpatient ward for personality and trauma-related disorders and supports the research group with data collection and preparation, including projects on tDCS and the analysis of treatment trajectories across different clinical contexts.
