Short Biography
I obtained my MSc in psychology at the University of Amsterdam in 1999. In my Master’s research project I investigated ‘blindsight’ in normal subjects, which is the ability of subjects with cortical damage to show residual visual function in the absence of visual awareness. After graduation I went on to the University of Eindhoven, where I obtained a professional doctorate in engineering in the field of human computer interaction. As part of my final project I worked at Trilogy in Austin, Texas, a software company delivering software solutions to Fortune 500 companies. Upon return to the Netherlands I started a PhD in the cognitive neuroscience group of Prof. Dr. V.A.F. Lamme (link to my homepage with more information below). My dissertation is about the neural correlates of conscious andunconscious vision. Recently I have beena PostDoc in the lab of Prof. Dr. R. Ridderinkhof working on a NeuroEconomics project looking at the neural correlates of social tie formation. I am currently a PostDoc in the lab of Prof. Lamme working on consciousness related topics.
Research interests
