Dr. Ute Kreplin teaches the Brain and Behaviour paper in Palmerston North. She worked at Oxford and Coventry University in the UK on a project investigating the neuro-stimulation of supernatural beliefs. She completed a PhD in Affective Neuroscience at Liverpool John Moores University. Her PhD looked at prefrontal cortex activation during the experience of emotion in an aesthetic context.
