CURRENT RESEARCH
The current research topics focus on Consciousness and the underlying non conscious processes. In research on intuition new methods have been developed where the use of an eye marker formeasurement of the pupil dilation during problem solving is a crucial aspect. Using this method we can discriminate between several factors contributing to the intuitive problem solving, namely implicit learning, somatic marker formation, 'listening' to the somatic marker and the more controversial aspect of presentiment.(see recent article on intuition in CABN below). In research of the measurement problem in Quantum Physics we have extended the original work of Shimony et al by using brain signals rather than verbal report to see if pre-observation of a quantum even has an effect on later observation. Preliminary data seem to lend some support to the 'radical subjective solution of the measurement problem'. I.e. conscious observation is a condition to make a measurement complete (link to article in Mind & Matter below).

CURRENT EDUCATION
There are two main courses I teach at the University of Amsterdam.First and foremost is the on-line course: Consciousness and Unconscious Processes. Co teachers are hans Phaf and Victor Lamme. The course is part of the research master. The second course is an introduction into programming. I use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) in the EXCEL environment to teach students the basic concepts of Variables, Loops, conditional statements etc. At the end of the course they are able to do some basic preprocessing on tab-delimited datafiles. Students can do their masters thesis by working in our research projects.
