Dr. Anne-Kathrin Eiselt is a behavioral neuroscientist and educator fascinated by the hidden psychology of how we experience the world. She teaches psychology at George Washington University and advises organizations on designing healthcare and technology experiences that work with the human brain rather than against it.
For nearly two decades, her work has been guided by the question: Why can two people share the same experience and walk away having lived something completely different? From patients navigating complex health decisions to students discovering new ways of understanding themselves and others, to people embracing or rejecting AI tools, she has seen how attention, assumptions, and beliefs quietly shape the experience of the world.
Through her consulting work, Anne-Kathrin helps organizations translate behavioral science into products, services, and experiences that are more human-centered, engaging, and effective. Whether she's helping someone to better understand themselves or helping organizations better understand the people they serve, she hopes her work leaves people with a deeper sense of curiosity about the world around them and the fascinating minds through which they experience it.
