Dr. Aenne Brielmann
Aenne Brielmann is a member of the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology since October 2023. Brielmann’s research has the overarching goal to investigate why people value sensory experiences and how those in turn motivate their behaviors. For example: Why do we spend time and effort to go see the beach, a concert, watch a movie? Over the past years, they have developed a computational model that can predict how much value someone assigns to a given image and how that evaluation changes over time. This computational model also has implications for how we understand boredom (as a relatively lower or decreasing value) and curiosity in the sensory domain. At the HIB, they aim to use these methods and insights to better understand intrinsic motivation, boredom, and curiosity in the context of education.
